This meeting was our long standing Chairmans last as he handed over the reigns to me. He was applauded several times through his emotional farewell to the Chair but not the club, we gave him a half case of White wine to fill the engraved goblets he received at the Dinner dance along with some flowers for Lorraine. A card was also signed by many members and handed over. CW organised that and many other trips to engravers and Trophy cabinets, so a big thanks to Chris for all the work no one sees. The meeting went well and all committee members other than Chairman stood for re election. The meeting ended with probably one of the best speakers that entertained and bought tackle goodies that were at cost and keenly snapped up by the members. Stu is welcome back and hopefully he will help us with the you tube channel we are embarking on. He has a very large following and often goes on trips with Wayne (Shore hunter I think) on you tube. A very good watch, I myself watch them in Norway and on Local beaches. They are very familiar with all our local waters. Thanks to Jerry and Dog fish Dave for all their time and efforts organising the speaker and driving from Hythe. We had members travelling from far afield to attend this meeting, Gummage also took the time to come and visit even after a dunking at the slipway and not wearing his own clothes, now if that's not commitment what is. Everyone was there till late and the room had a real buzz, long may it continue.

Leo and his school mate accompanied me on the return visit to the mooring after Tarlach Too's winter maintenance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dear Members and Committee It was with some sadness but also some relief to give my 13th and last report to the AGM and to hand over the reigns to Mal. It has been an honour to be the chairman of the club , but I did not expect it to last for so long. I was very grateful for the magnificent card signed by the members, that was some achievement to get so many names and signatures , and also the box of Sauvignon Blanc was much appreciated, Thank you to every one for the positive sentiments and the applause that I got. I will continue to attend meetings and continue fishing, I have just j]had the first offer on the boat. Lets see what happens. Thank you and Best wishes Tony Keep finding speakers like Stu and meetings will be packed.

Thanks Mal, Congratulations on being voted in as Chairman. I am sure you will do a great job. A very good AGM, followed off by a very interesting InSite into International match angling tactics. Having fished with Mike Fox recently I can certainly say that these guys put huge efforts into rigs, tactics and bait preparation/ use. Charlie

Thank you Tony. 13 years eh? I had no idea it was that long. Thanks for keeping us on an even keel all that time. Time now to put your feet up and be an "ordinary member" Cheers. Jim

Well done and huge thanks Tony 13 years at the helm, after I believe 12 as the Club Secretary, so 25 continuous years on our Committee. I hope that you and Lorraine now get more time to enjoy your retirement and make good use of the camper. If you ever fancy coming fishing with me on Alfresco, please give me a call. Cheers Charlie and Wendy

A pair of winners

Sounds like a great evening just wish I could have been there

" I have just j]had the first offer on the boat. Lets see what happens." You've not even finished cleaning yet! 👍

Happy smiles, love it

Well done Jim thanks for your computer help it is very useful.

Tony you have done a Sterling job over the years and you are welcome on Y knot any time. I hope we can keep the Club on a positive trend for the next 13 years.
