What an incredible achievement for our club at the 2026 Surf Life Saving WA Nipper & Youth Awards!

We are so proud of all of our finalists who were recognised among the very best young surf lifesavers in Western Australia. Their dedication, commitment, leadership and passion for surf lifesaving are a credit to themselves, their families and our club.

A very special congratulations to Charlee, who was awarded U14/U15 Lifesaver of the Year!

This is an outstanding and thoroughly well-deserved achievement, recognising the hard work, skill and commitment Charlee consistently brings to surf lifesaving!

The Surf Life Saving WA Nipper & Youth Awards, are proudly presented by the Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation of WA and celebrate the outstanding achievements of Nipper and Youth members across the state, and we couldn't be prouder to see our members recognised at this level.

Congratulations to all our finalists and award recipients - you continue to inspire the next generation of surf lifesavers and we are so proud of you all!

We’re incredibly proud to see Quinns Mindarie SLSC recognised in the 2026 Surf Life Saving WA Awards of Excellence.

Righto QMSLSC legends, here’s your excuse to buy excessive amounts of tomato sauce and call it “supporting the community” 🍅😂

Surf Life Saving Australia are running a fundraiser with Mon OzeSauce, and every bottle helps support the club 🙌

Finally… a fundraising campaign we can all ketchup with 🍅😂

Support the club, support local surf lifesavers, AND secure your snag’s best mate at the same time. It’s basically community service every time you squeeze the bottle.

Minimum 5 bottles apparently… so if anyone asks, we’re not hoarding sauce - we’re saving lives 🇦🇺❤️💛

Support your club and stock up for your next BBQ with Mon OzeSauce Tomato Sauce 🍅❤️💛

Mon OzeSauce are offering Surf Life Saving Clubs a rebate on Tomato Sauce products until 30 November 2026.

Claiming your club rebate is easy:
1. Purchase a minimum of 5 bottles of Mon OzeSauce Tomato Sauce on behalf of your club
2. Upload your receipt via the link in bio
3. Funds will be disbursed directly to your club through your state

Perfect for club canteens, fundraising BBQs, and community events 👏

What a Night........!

Saturday night’s QMSLSC Annual Awards Night was truly something special!

From the laughter and dancing to the celebration of our incredible members, it was such a fantastic evening and a wonderful way to recognise the dedication, achievements, and community spirit that make our club so special.

A huge congratulations to all of our award winners and finalists on the night, the passion and commitment shown across every area of our club this season has been outstanding and we are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing club community ❤️

It was also wonderful to have our patrons, Mark Folkard MLA and Tracey Roberts - Federal Member for Pearce, join us for the evening and help celebrate such a special night for our club community. Thank you both for coming along and sharing the evening with us.

Of course, we also need to acknowledge our unforgettable MC for the evening - the one and only Chopper Martinez 😅

We definitely weren’t prepared for the completely unhinged and wildly unpredictable ride you took us on throughout the night, but somehow you kept everyone on their toes and the laughs flowing from start to finish. Thank you for the time, energy, and effort you put into the evening - it certainly became a night nobody will forget or want to repeat anytime soon!🤣

A huge thank you as well to our DJ Marc, for creating such a fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening, from the awards ceremony right through to the dancefloor later in the night 🎶

To our photographer, generously donated by Rift Photography - thank you for capturing the evening so perfectly, you can feel the fun and laughter coming through. Judging by these photos, it’s safe to say a wonderful night was had by all.

A massive thank you also goes to Jon and the team from Montebello Catering. The food was incredible, and your team’s professionalism, efficiency, and ability to work seamlessly around the flow of the evening was so appreciated.

And finally, to all of our amazing volunteers who helped set up, decorate, organise, and pack down the event - thank you ❤️Events like this truly take an army, and without the support of our club community, nights like these simply wouldn’t be possible.

Thank you again to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a memorable celebration.

Until next year… 🐵🙈🙉🙊

Support Those Who Support Us!

We’re excited to share that Dave & Buster's Australia, by the same generous group who donated our Nipper of the Week bowling vouchers all season, are opening their newest venue soon!

We’re grateful for their support of our club and look forward to working with them again next season. Now it’s our turn to show them some love.

👉 Bookings for Opening Night are now available: see the link below!
Bonus: Every child included in a booking will receive 15 minutes of FREE arcade time! 🎮

Let’s get behind the businesses that support our local community - support those who support us!

Arcade. Restaurant. Sports bar. All under one roof. The kind of place where the whole family sits down for dinner — then everyone splits off and has a great time. Kids hit the arcade. You watch the footy. Someone ends up on air hockey for an hour. Same place, nobody compromising.
