Don’t beach and booze this New Year
The Marshall Liberal Government, Surf Life Saving South Australia (SLSSA), and South Australia Ambulance Service (SAAS) are calling on all beachgoers to run a tight ship in 2021 and prevent alcohol-related drownings.
Sunshine, shells, ice cream, kites and good times all mix at the beach – but alcohol and swimming do not.
Approximately 35,000 people visited patrolled beaches on Boxing Day, with even larger crowds expected at the state’s best – and most secluded – beaches over the New Year holiday period, prompting fresh warnings for all South Australians to exercise caution around the water.
Michael and
David Knight have formed a solid partnership at Newport Cricket Club over the past 35 years, expanding the club to be more inclusive and overseeing the return of first class cricket to the city after a 54-year absence. The pair have been involved with the club since they were schoolboys, and after their playing days took on numerous roles to stabilise the club after it lost its Rodney Parade home 30 years ago. With the club now based in Spytty Park, chairman Michael Knight said it was “really satisfying to see how it has developed” over the past three decades.
