Crowdy Harrington Marine Rescue

 

The unit’s previous unit commander, Bek Brown decided to step down from her position at the last meeting. Deputy unit commander, Leon Elelman is now promoted to unit commander and Cheryl Rowe is promoted to deputy unit commander.

The Crowdy Harrington unit thanked Bek for all her hard work over the last 18 months as unit commander and wish her all the very best in future endeavours.

The unit also congratulated Leon and Cheryl in obtaining their new positions and wished them every success in their new roles.

The organisation received $72,000 from the Emergency Volunteer Support Scheme that was put towards the purchase of the vehicles.

Further fundraising efforts completed the purchase and ensured the vehicles could be fitted with required accessories such as a toolbox, canopy, roof racks, electric brakes and tow package.

Unit commander Bek Brown said the vehicles are a crucial asset to the crew’s operations.

“They’re vital for training, meetings, fundraising and transporting fuel to the boat,” Bek said.

One of the key roles for the new ute is to transport a large fuel tank to the rescue boat.

“After each rescue, the tank needs to be refueled,” Bek said.

The vehicles were picked up from Mid Coast Automotive Group earlier this week after Marine Rescue livery was completed.

Crew members have said goodbye to an outdated land cruiser and an obsolete ute. They have each clocked up more than 350,000 kilometres.

The land cruiser joined the Crowdy Harrington family before the new millennium while the ute dates back to when Paul Keating was Prime Minister.

“They’ve served their purpose,” Bek said.

Deputy unit commander Leon Elelman said the rescue crew has come a long way in the last decade.

He said changes to the command, fresh ideas and a strong effort from volunteers has created a tight knit group.

“We’re like a big family,” he said.

You couldn’t wipe the smile off his face when talking about what the new vehicles bring to the table.

“It’s a boost to morale,” Leon said.

The organisation is the eyes on the water between Diamond Head and Black Head.

As a volunteer group, they welcome all funds and assistance. About three-quarters of funds held by the organisation are raised by members.

To find out more about the crew or to donate, visit www.mrch.org.au or call 6556 1564.

Brett Emerton boots from the 2006 FIFA World Cup to be auctioned

 

A PIECE of Australian soccer history will be up for grabs at Ingleburn next month.

Ingleburn Rotary Club is holding a fundraising event at Sweeney’s Function Centre where a pair of Socceroo and local hero Brett Emerton’s football boots from the 2006 FIFA World Cup will be auctioned.

Emerton, a former Gunners player and Macquarie Fields High School student, is expected to be a part of the Australian team at this year’s World Cup in South Africa.

All funds raised on the evening will go towards the PCYC’s Burn Rubber Burn program, which helps people in wheelchairs develop training regimes.

Ingleburn Rotary Club president Leon Elelman encouraged people to support the evening.

“The boots were made for Brett at the last World cup and are only one of six pairs in existence.”

A similar pair of Emerton’s boots sold for about $2000 recently.

Geoff Hoggett…. my beautiful cousin passed away yesterday peacefully at home. He was a long serving NSW Police Officer – commenced at Police Cadet with illustrious career through to Chief Superintendent at retirement. Amazing Detective and much adored Dad, Grandfather and loved member of our family. We were all so blessed to have shared his 80th birthday party with him just weeks ago. His sense of humour never changed.

Geoff‘s recent 80th birthday

 


 

Vale Geoff Hoggett
Date of Event St George Cricket Club: Fri Apr 3, 2020 11:40AM

Geoffrey David HOGGETT

It is with the heaviest of hearts we inform of the passing of Geoff Hoggett.

Geoff was an unsung hero of the club, having served on the St George DCC management committee for many years. His efforts often weren’t known to the public but were greatly appreciated by all core workers within the club.

Geoff was a very highly regarded member of the NSW Police force until retirement where he dedicated even more of his time to cricket and cricketers.  Like many, Geoff came up through the ranks as a cricketing father with sons David and Matt playing cricket at Penshurst West.

Geoffrey David HOGGETT APM

Geoff would become an active member of the management committee as well as coaching multiple junior teams. This Included GRPSTG Rep teams (now St George). In fact even after his sons had finished playing juniors he still played a proactive part in the junior cricket community which included managing a young U13’s rep team he felt had great potential but were doing it tough. After three years as manager, the team would eventually reach the potential Geoff knew they had and go on to win the Watson Shield. The team consisted of a number of youngsters that would go on to much bigger and better things in Moises Henriques and Steve Cazzulino.

Geoffrey David HOGGETT APM

It was also during this period that Geoff Hoggett became a much loved and integral part of the Kingsgrove Cricket Academy setup. Through his position as Evening Manager / Supervisor, Geoff helped create a highly popular place of cricketing education where so many of our players not only crafted their game but went on to become cricket coaches themselves. Importantly it was the extra care, attention and often education and friendship he provided to cricketing parents that will be greatly remembered.

Geoffrey David HOGGETT APM

Eventually Geoff’s son Matt moved into the playing ranks at St George so it was only natural for Geoff to roll his sleeves up and get involved. It started with ensuring that all was taken care of every day of play at each home game as well as managing the teams. Club Management soon realised that Geoff needed to be a part of the successful running of the club.

Matt Hoggett himself became an integral member of the playing staff and went on to become first grade player No.387. He also took on the key role of 2nd Grade captain which yielded a premiership in the clubs centenary season of 09-10. All the while Geoff was by his side doing all he could to help the players. If the players had a club night at Hurstville Oval, more often than not, it was Geoff who would stay back and close up when they finally decided to move on into the night. The players loved and respected him greatly as did the senior members of the club.

Geoff’s extraordinary commitment to the club was recognised when he was recognised as Life Member No.48 of St George DCC.

Geoffrey David HOGGETT APM

Away from Cricket, Geoff was a loving family man and enjoyed numerous other sports, in particular Rugby League which he played as a young lad. He was a staunch Roosters fan having grown up in the Bondi area. Through his time in the police he had a plethora of amazing life experiences and was a great bloke to sit down and have a chat over a cold one. He did not shy away from telling it how it was and many people within the club would now be grateful for his honest advise.

Geoffrey David HOGGETT APM

Only just a month ago Geoff was in good spirits as he mingled with friends at the annual Life Members Lunch at Hurstville Oval. He was proud of his time well spent at St George DCC.

A finer man you could not wish to meet. He will be sorely missed by all who new him.

Geoff Hoggett was 80 years old.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the Hoggett Family.

Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 – 1995), Tuesday 13 July 1993, page 5

Shots fired at ICAC figure’s home

SYDNEY: Shots were fired yesterday morning at the home of a Sydney nightclub owner who figured prominently in the Independent Commission Against Corruption‘s investigations into police corruption.

A police spokesman said the shots were fired at the home of Louis Bayeh at Ermington about 2am.

The spokesman said Mr Bayeh was believed to have been out but his wife and four children were home at the time of the drive-past shooting.

No-one was injured.

Shots were also fired at a car, belonging to a friend of the family, that was parked outside the home.

The spokesman did not know how many shots were fired.

He said ballistics experts and scientific police were at the house which had been cordoned off for some time.

Police canvassed the area yesterday but there were no further details.

In April, the Independent Commission Against Corruption heard that Mr Bayeh told then assistant Police Commissioner Col Cole and Police Association president Tony Day that senior police had a contract on his life.

The allegation was made at a lunch meeting in December 1992 between Bayeh, Mr Cole, Mr Day and Sydney identity Tom Domican at a hotel in Sydney.

• A police whistle-blower who has alleged a cover-up to the level of Police Commissioner Tony Lauer will be called a liar, counsel for the police service told the commission yesterday.

The whistle-blower, Detective Sergeant Kimbal Cook, said he ” would plead guilty to being slack ” but strenuously denied he had behaved improperly, proposing in stead there had been an attempt to set him up.

In evidence last week, Sergeant Cook said he submitted a report detailing four years of harassment and threats by fellow officers after he gathered key evidence against two corrupt colleagues in 1988.

He said he was told by Chief Superintendent Bob Myatt to rewrite the report to avoid investigation by the ombudsman or then Police Minister Ted Pickering.

Sergeant Cook said Superintendent Myatt told him the instructions had come from then-Assistant Commissioner Col Cole and ” the boss “, whom he assumed to be Mr Lauer. Superintendent Myatt has denied this.

Yesterday, Chief Superintendent Geoffrey Hoggett, commander of the Internal Affairs Unit, gave evidence that Sergeant Cook’s original report would have constituted a complaint to be investigated by his unit and the Ombudsman, but this had not happened.

Dave Whiteman
I remember being a Pro at Manly in the early 70’s when Nev used to swing by the station in the evening after his regular fishing trips. He’d drop a bag of fish on the counter and offer them to anyone who wanted a feed. This went on for months and many took a few fish home for dinner…. until one night someone asked him how come he always got a good bagful of fish and where did he catch them. “There’s plenty down in the Murk at North Head. I always get a good feed there.” Nev revealed! R.I.P. The Owl.
  • Kenneth Bulger
    Dave Whiteman, I remember that. Never took any though. I knew where he caught them. Frank Daniels caught many black fish off North Head too.

Husband of Christine,

Father of Chantel ( 21 ) & Bradley ( 19 ),

Brother to Retired NSWPF Member – Kelly French ( # ????? ) & Brother-in-law to Serving Member Insp. Matt French ( # ????? – Kempsey ).

 

Paul, unfortunately, was still suffering from work related PTSD – even after Retiring from the NSW Police Force.

He collapsed, at home, whilst suffered a heart attack.

His daughter-in-law, Bree, bravely performed CPR until the Paramedics arrived, who then took over CPR and transported him to Coffs Harbour Hospital however Paul did not respond to the treatment and passed away at the Hospital a short time after arrival.

It is hoped that he did not suffer.

May Thornys family remember the good times and know that they did everything possible when needed.

Thorny ” bled blue ” and being part of the Police Force meant the world to him – as too, did his family – even through the darkest hours.

May Thorny forever Rest In Peace.
