Branch Formation:
Surf Bathers Association of New South Wales was the organisation to which all clubs were directly affiliated to until the Sydney Branch was formed in 1949.
Manly Warringah Branch was formed in 1960 following a decision of the north side clubs to press for the formation of a branch in the Manly Warringah area. A branch executive of Alan Fitzgerald (President), Lionel McDonald (Deputy President), Jack Clark (Secretary) and Harry Rogers (Treasurer), Hector McDonald (Superintendent).
The name of the branch remained Manly Warringah Branch until 1993 when it was changed to Surf Lifesaving Sydney Northern Beaches Inc. to recognise the change in local government structure that took place around that time.
Branch Management:
The Branch Executive of President, Deputy President, Secretary, Treasurer, Superintendent and his Deputy were responsible for the general day to day running of the branch from its formation until in 1994 the management structure was revised with the various areas of control being run by designated directors. At this time an additional member of the executive was added to look after the inclusion of the Board of Junior Activities (Nippers). Changes in the structure have occurred over the years to the current format of today.
In 1983 Jenny Drury commenced as the branches 1st employee to perform much of the day to day running of the work needed to relieve pressure on the volunteer officials. The work carried out was done in the beginning from an area in Manly Surf Club with subsequent relocations to South Curl Curl Surf Club, offices in Dee Why, Cromer and Warriewood.
