Fairy Meadow Surf Club was proud to cheer on two incredible members, Tayla Gaviglia and Michael Russo, at the Surf Lifesaving NSW Awards of Excellence in August 2025.
Words cannot describe how proud we are to share that Michael Russo was awarded the Surf Lifesaving NSW Surf Lifesaver of the Year award. An outstanding achievement and a testament to his tireless commitment, leadership, and service to our Club and community.
We are equally as proud of Tayla Gaviglia who was the Surf Lifesaving Illawarra Trainer of the Year and of Alice Laurence who was the Surf Lifesaving Illawarra Junior Activity Volunteer of the Year.
Tayla, now our Chief Training Officer, has dedicated countless hours to training at the Club and has helped increase involvement in education throughout the Club.

She has secured significant grant funding, sponsorship, and is on the beach every Sunday supporting our Nippers.
