TOP PATROLLER
Graeme Beaumont (above), the Waikuku Beach club captain, is the third recipient of the New Zealand Shipping Corporation’s “patroller of the year” award. His prize is a return air ticket to Australia, where Beaumont will attend a training school. A rigorous day’s work faced the seven entrants. As well as writing a 1000-word article on “The training and upgrading of club patrols,” they had to perform a tube
rescue, undergo a resuscitation examination test, answer a written test, and be interviewed by the judges, Messrs Neville Duckmanton, Murray Boyd (of the Canterbury association) and Dick Henshaw, Christchurch manager of the Shipping Corporation. The judges observed that there was a very high standard, well up ’to that of previous years, when the winners were Jan Pinkerton
(New Brighton) and Steve Johnston (Waimairi). The runner-up was the 18-year-old Spencer Park lifeguard, Chris Campbell, and the other entrants were Janice Beaumont (South Brighton) — the winner’s sister; Graham Hern (Waimairi), Richard Munt (Taylors Mistake),. Jonathon Pasley (Sumner) and Dora Langsbury (New Brighton).
