When Cliff Bennett was leading a group of Rotarians to collect litter at Himatangi Beach, he had time to inspect the surf patrol's vehicle.
Bennett was part of a Rotary off-site visit and afterwards they enjoyed a barbecue at the Surf Life Saving clubrooms.
"When I looked at their Suzuki,
it was rusting away.
"They wouldn't get a WOF next inspection," he said.
"Yet it's essential for towing the rescue boat to the beach and back to the clubhouse afterwards."
