Charlestown MP Jodie Harrison paid tribute to the hard working volunteers from the Hunter branch of the Surf Lifesaving movement in NSW Parliament on August 9.
"The beaches in the Charlestown electorate and the surrounding area are world-class, and there's no doubt the people who get involved in surf lifesaving in our area are among the best of the best," Ms Harrison said. 
"That's why it was my pleasure to be asked to help recognise the incredible work of the surf lifesaving crews from across the Hunter at the Hunter Branch Surf Lifesaving Awards on the night of Friday, June 17."
After a difficult season, with storm waves pounding local beaches, it was especially good to have a night celebrating the athleticism and community-mindedness of surf lifesavers from across the region.
"I would like to particularly acknowledge the winners from Charlestown's own Redhead Surf Lifesaving Club! Lani Waller was acknowledged as Youth Athlete of the Year, while Taj Horadam was named one of the two Junior Lifesavers of the Year."
Steve Foggett took home the Trainer of the Year acknowledgment; Gail Henderson was again recognised as Facilitator of the Year, and Ray Terrill was named Coach of the Year. Congratulations to them and to all the recipients from across the Hunter!
