With great sadness we share news of the passing of a founding club member & vice President Victor Davies, 91. Known to everyone as ‘Uncle’ Vic, he was so active in the club in his younger years & will be sadly missed. #Porthcawl #Lifeguard #VigilanceAndService

In 1990 a terrible storm with surging waves caused so much damage to the LMSLSC clubhouse that it had to be demolished. Then a later storm in 1997 took away the car park. This shows the immense power generated from crashing waves. #LlantwitMajor #Lifesaving #Wales

Since surf lifesaving originated in #Australia in 1907, we wish all the lifeguards, lifesavers & ‘clubbies’ down under a wonderful #AustraliaDay. #SurfRescue #VigilanceAndService

A chance to say farewell to ex-Navy, veteran Porthcawl RNLI Lifeboat crew member and one of our clubs founding members Mr. Victor Davies. His family have asked for the information to be shared. #Porthcawl #Lifeguard #Bridgend RNLI
