*** Congratulations to our many club members on their recent selection in NSW teams & squads (see NSW website for full team lists) ***

Vale Frank Jordan (19 Aug 1932 - 13 March 2012)

Frank (second from right above) was the youngest member of Australia's 1952 Helsinki Olympic Water Polo team (aged 19) and played a significant part in the growth of aquatic sports throughout Australia and in particular our beloved Sutherland Shire.
Described by his daughter Robin as the “Grandfather” of the Cronulla Sutherland Water Polo Club, Frank’s insight as a visionary and educator was manifest and exceptional.
For it was he who convened a meeting at Cronulla Surf Club for the purpose of starting a water polo club in the area that would enable local players to become eligible for selection in New South Wales, Australian and Olympic teams.
If Olympic representation is the highest pinnacle of athletic aspiration and one of the prime reasons for the Club's establishment, then our founding Grandfather’s vision has truly become a reality. Frank has delivered to our Community a heritage steeped in endeavor and success and helped build a community that fosters passion, perseverance and pride.
May his spirit live on!

Trivia Night Success

Last Friday night the annual Sharks trivia night was held at Cronulla High School. About 200 people showed up to support the club and were treated to some diverse brainteasers catering for all ages. Amongst the fun and games the crowd were also treated to a ‘cap up’ by the girls a very entertaining ‘deck change’ by the boys.
 Boys Deck change competition. Check out mankini third from right.

Plenty of beautiful smiling faces 
 With the usual rounds of pick the faces, number crunch and a variety of general knowledge questions the favourite round seem to be ‘music mania’ which had the crowd dancing or in full song many times.
Plenty of wisdom at this table but not good enough on the night.
Above are the Luscious Luchi's who are the 2012 Trivia Night Champs. Check out the tension.
A big thank you to everyone who helped pull the night together, particularly Lisa and Anne. I would also like to thank the business' , families and idividuals who donated gifts and prizes for the night. Also many thanks to Cronulla High School for supporting our club.

To all those who went, thank you for supporting the club and if you couldn’t make it this year make sure you pencil it in for next year.
