The People

An interview with Helen and Harley Turnbull.

Members of the Club since the late 1940’s and involved through the 1950’s and 1960’s they reminisce about times at the Club in those years.

Helen was a LeCren before marrying and their family had a bach at the Bay during those years and were very involved in the Clubs patrols, competitions and administration.

Both Helen and Harley were members of Taylors teams that won many NZ Titles and Harley went on to found the Waikuku Club when his livelihood took him to Rangiora. He was subsequently at a relatively late age, made Canterbury’s “Surf Life Saver of the Year” and after that went on to President of the Surf Life Saving Canterbury.
