The return of the Australian Championships to Kurrawa in 2010 reminds me that the organization of the Championships requires a twelve month commitment. In 1965 the Championships were discussed by the Kirra Club Committee who decided to ask Tweed Heads & Coolangatta Club and North Kirra Club to join Kirra on an Organising Committee for the 1966 Championships. Both Clubs agreed. |

Years ago many Kirra Club members attended early mass at the Catholic Church. The fact they attended church was accepted by all members, it was the noise they made getting ready for church that upset other members. |

Ron Gurnett joined Kirra in season 1963/64. No-one realized when he joined what an outstanding Club Member he would be. |

Ken Wiles joined Kirra from North Bondi SLSC in 1953 when his parents transferred to Brisbane. He had been talking to Graham Byrnes (Scott’s father) on the finishing line at the Australian Championships at Newport Beach, Sydney and mentioned he was moving to Brisbane. Of course Graham suggested he join Kirra. |

Travelling to Kirra these days is easy compared to years ago.
Very few cars travelled between Brisbane and Coolangatta in the 1940’s. Those that did had to travel across the Albert and Coomera rivers by barge. Most of the travelling was by train which departed South Brisbane station at 6.00pm each Friday night. |

Kirra has changed considerably in the past sixty years.
Main means of travel at that time was by train which entered Coolangatta Railway Station via the south bank of Coolangatta Creek across Miles Street over a rail bridge through the Kirra cutting, over another bridge across McLean Street at Coolangatta. Coolangatta rail station was situated where Bakers Delight store is now. |

Up until recently, the Australian Resuscitation Council’s Treatment Protocol for Non-tropical Bluebottle stings was ice. Due to further research, the Treatment Protocol has been changed to hot water (no hotter than the rescuer can comfortably tolerate) rather than ice, as this has proven more effective in ceasing the pain of the sting. The current Treatment Protocol for Non-tropical Bluebottles is as follows: 1. Do not allow rubbing of the stung area 2. Remove any adhering tentacles 3. Rinse area well with sea water (not freshwater – freshwater will cause extra stinging cells within the tentacles to fire onto the patient’s skin) 4. Place stung area in hot water (no hotter than rescuer can comfortably tolerate) 5. If pain is unrelieved by heat, or if hot water is not available, apply ice 6. If symptoms persist or worsen, strongly encourage stung victims to seek medical aid
PLEASE REMEMBER: • If hot water is available on the beach (i.e. showers are available at the surf club), but the pain fails to lessen with the application of heat - apply ice. • Should that fail and symptoms persist or worsen, strongly advise the stung victim to seek medical aid. • In the event that hot water is not available on the beach (i.e. surf club does not have hot water showers) victims should be advised to go home and shower in hot water (sending them off with ice). • If however home is too far away; or if hot shower at home fails to lessen the pain and symptoms persist or worsen - strongly advise the victims to seek medical aid.
