(i)   2007 is the Year of the Lifesaver,
(ii)   that the Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club is currently celebrating its centenary year and held its 100th annual general meeting on Sunday, 5 August 2007, and
(iii)   that during the past 100 years members of the club have performed more than 9,000 rescues with no lives lost;
(b)   recognises that the Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club has been one of the most successful clubs in the history of surf life saving championships, including being the only club to win three consecutive World, Australian, State and Branch Championships Pointscores; and
