Volume 18 Issue 12 July 2015

Hello all,

Unfortunately I start my report on a sad note this month with the notice of the passing of one of our long-time members, Patrick Luttrell who was unexpectedly taken away from us on Tuesday 14th July 2015. Pat was an active member of the club and a great bloke who was happy to have a fish and a chat with anyone and he will be sorely missed. Seven of us represented the club at his funeral and we have put together a tribute for Pat later in the newsletter.

Hello all,

By the time you read this the 2014/15 club fishing competition year will be over and you will have to wait until the Presentation Night in September to find out who the most talented lucky winners are so good luck all. Remember if you have been lucky enough to fish the last part of the fishing year and have made some captures, the paperwork needs to be to the recorder by 14th July. Don't forget!!

Hello all,

Well as they say, the best laid plans... and that was indeed the case for me for the St Georges Basin outing, was looking forward to a good fishing session but the lurgy got me on the Thursday afternoon and I was history for a few days so ended up having to miss out. Wendie even said that I must really feel crook not to go fishing because I usually push myself through the pain, out of bed and by the first cast, feel a whole lot better but this time I just could not do it.

Hello all,

It has been a very busy period for the club as always when we are holding our biggest event of the year, maintaining our regular outings, keeping on top of general business and still getting some fishing done at the same time.

Firstly, another successful outing for the club and a good turnout at the Narooma Convention for all that attended, it's always great to see the club and its members up there in the running for this event. More on our Narooma outing in another great article from Anthony later.

Hello all,

A lot has been happening over the past month preparing for the Carp Out. Now that all our permits are approved, final arrangements are in full swing and not looking like slowing down any time soon. Our printing has been completed thanks to CanPrint Communications so we are full steam ahead into promoting the Carp Out and getting entries in. Tidying up the online entry system within our website was another hurdle but now people can now register and complete payment quickly and easily online

Hello all,

 Hoping you all had a great new year and made it safely home from your travels, and hopefully with a few fishy tales to tell. I stayed local and had the rods in the car but, unfortunately, they did not see water.
