Marine Rescue commander re-elected unopposed
Marine Rescue Central Coast has re-elected Mr Ian Morrow unopposed as its unit commander for another two years.
Deputy unit commander Mr Andrew McKellar was also returned for a second two-year term unopposed, with Mr Ian Radford sharing responsibilities as deputy unit commander (administration).
Mr Morrow praised the team which operated "behind the scenes".
"As my first term comes to an end, I would ask you to indulge me as I think back over that time and acknowledge the hard work of all the back room people who put in an extraordinary amount of their own time, mostly over and above their normal duties.
"I am forever grateful for these people and the way they go about their duties, mostly without any instructions from anyone because they have a professional approach and instinctively know what is required.
"These people are the lubricant that keeps the operation of the unit seamless and minimises disruption," said Mr Morrow.
Mr Ian Leafe stepped down from the admin role, which was taken over by Mr Chris Hartcher, with Ms Lisa Pollard taking on membership.
Treasurer Ms Shea Wicks, IT officer Mr Pete Alderton and grants officer Mr Paul Brierley retained their positions on the executive committee, while Mr Bob Gilbody has stepped up to the task of training officer.
