I would like to start with an important reminder that there will be a Special General Meeting held prior to the Annual General Meeting on WEDNESDAY 10th August at 7:30pm. We need to have a majority of financial senior members at this meeting to have a quorum to run the meeting. After nine years of putting my time into the club as a committee member, I will be standing down at the AGM.
By the time you read this the 2015/16 club fishing competition year will be over and now you will have to wait until the Presentation Night on the 10th of September to find out who the lucky prize 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, then the paperwork needs to be to the recorder by the 14th of July. Don’t forget!!
The Club's fishing year is quickly coming to a close, but there is still plenty of time to get in some good fishing captures to compete in the competition standings, also don't forget to keep those photo's coming in for the photo comp.
May's general meeting decided the locations and dates for the next year's monthly Club outings. The information will be up on the club website, included in the newsletter and on our Facebook page and soon on the events calendar so you will once again be able to register interest through the website
Well the 9th Annual Canberra Carp Out is done and dusted and another successful event run by the club thanks to the help from all our club volunteers. Without the support of our membership we certainly could not run this event. So from myself and the committee I wish to thank everyone who assisted. We are still tidying up a few loose ends and hope to have the final figures for the next general meeting.
I would like to also thank all of our Canberra Carp Out sponsors below who, without their support, we just could not get this event off the ground.
Hi all,
It has been very busy, as it always is at this time of the year with the Canberra Carp Out arrangements, 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 with some good captures.
G'day all,
Well as usual a lot has been happening and this time it's mainly been around arrangements for the Carp Out. We at last have all of our permits approved so it's all systems go. By the time you are reading this newsletter we will be in full swing promoting the Carp Out and getting entries in. This year entries are online via our website so people can easily register and pay with PayPal or a credit card.
G'day all,
Well the festive season has come and gone and I hope you all managed a safe and prosperous New Year that including time for a fish. Wendie and I spent New Year's Eve in the boat on Lake Burly Griffin pretending we were on Sydney Harbour with a glass of champagne, feasting on chicken and other treats with a couple of fishing rods out on the troll.
G'day all,
As you read this 2015 will have come to a close and 2016 will have just begun. We made it successfully through our two main events the Canberra Carp-Out and the Burrinjuck Convention thanks to our sponsors and the terrific volunteers we have in our club.
Hi all,
Firstly, I would like to congratulate all the award winners at the 2014-15 CFC Presentation Night. I’m sure all that were there would agree that it was a great night. It was great to see it well attended this year with only a few of the winners absent so I will try to present the unpresented awards at the next general meeting.
Hi all,
Well we start this month’s newsletter with a report that Team Canberra Fishos had a fantastic time attending the Gold Coast Flathead Classic on the 1st – 3rd October and managed to finish up in the top 20 out of 217 teams. We already have a returning team for 2016 and would highly recommend it to other members to join us as the more teams, the merrier. Also, I have to say; ‘Great work!’ by the Gold Coast Sportfishing Club for putting on an excellent event. Anthony has written a great article later on in the newsletter about the trip.
G’day all,
Firstly, a BIG THANK YOU once again to all our members that were involved in the successful running of our 41st Annual Burrinjuck Convention. To our Burrinjuck Chair this year, Anthony Heiser - who as always puts in a big effort, made sure all the food and hire equipment was ordered, picked up and shipped to the event. To our Sponsorship Officer, Michael Jewry for his first time at taking this type of role in making contact with the sponsors and arranging for delivery of sponsored goods - without such tremendous help and support from our sponsors, the event would simply not run.
Hi all,
Welcome to the first newsletter of the new 2015/16 fishing year.
Well the AGM is at last done and dusted after the second attempt. Thank you to all the people that attended both meetings and thank you to the people that put their hand up to volunteer to assist with being on the committee for the next year. Your new committee for 2015/16 is;
