On 22 August, Simon Holt and Duncan McComb were on hand to join Elouera Surf Life Saving Club for the launch of their new Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB), proudly donated by The Holt Estate.
The event also marked a special milestone — the 20th such IRB donation since The Holt Estate began donating IRBs to the Bate Bay surf clubs in 2005, supporting the vital work they do to keep Sutherland Shire beaches and community safe.
It was wonderful to celebrate this ongoing partnership and recognise the dedication of the volunteers who give so much to surf lifesaving, particularly Michael Byrne AM for his contributions to the IRB section at Elouera over many years and after whom the boat is named.
