It is with deep sorrow that the Helensburgh Stanwell Park Surf Club share the passing of Terry Daintry on 22 August 2024.

Terry joined the club in 1960 and earned his Bronze in 1961-62. He served as Vice President from 1979-80, and then as President for six impactful years between 1980-87. In 1986, Terry was honored with Life Membership during the grand opening of our new Club building.

As President, Terry was a driving force behind nearly every aspect of the club. He spearheaded fundraising initiatives like the Burgh to Beach Fun Runs, Liverpool Shopping Centre projects, and the Buy a Brick campaign for our new building. Terry also played a crucial role in negotiating with the Council and NSW Government to secure funding for the building’s construction.

When it came to the interior fit-out of the new building, Terry took charge—designing plans, ordering materials, organizing volunteer work bees, and even persuading tradesmen to lend a hand. His dedication and resourcefulness truly helped shape our club’s future. May he RIP
