Debbie Holland

Debbie has been around the Club for the past 40 years initially following her husband and his boat crews to carnivals every Saturday and assisting the Club whenever asked for selling raffle tickets, preparing food for functions, etc. In 2000 she became the Nipper Co-ordinator. In years following she took over from the Senior Club Registrar, assisted Youth Directors, set up Surfguard for North Bondi, attended monthly Board meetings, completed carnival entries, chaperoned March Past girls, and competed in March Past herself, continuing her volunteer journey until 2012-13 season.
In 2005 Debbie became an employee in the position of Office Administrator. This position has developed somewhat over the years from being employed to just do memberships to being a pivot for all sections of the Club.
