Wanda's New IRB thanks to the Holt Group
We would like to especially thank the Holt Group with thelaunch our new IRB and motor which has been genously given to us by the Holt Group. This is the second boat that we have received. The Holt group have undertaken to give a new IRB in turn to each of the Bate Bay Clubs each year, we are extremly lucky to have such a charitable sponsor. The Holt Group a family business have a very long rich history in the Shire and of supporting many charities
This piece of equipment does not come cheap, it is a very necessary and compulsory piece of lifesaving equipment, and Wanda is very proud of our 65 years of NO LIVES LOST during our patrol hours.
It has been Wanda’s pleasure to name this IRB the VICKI HOLT ,Vicki was Phils wife and mother to Samantha and Ben and sister to a long time member Craig Hayes .Vicki sadly lost her battle to cancer last year and Wanda would like to honour her memory by the naming of this boat.
