PRESIDENT'S AGENDA 2024-2025 SEASON
PRESIDENTS AGENDA FOR THE 2024/25 SEASON
I am excited for what this new season will bring. The executive will be close to being full, with some new members joining the committee for the first time.
The club will still be in a financial position to offer some more charter trips as well as subsides Social events.
Membership will remain stable and we will try to encourage those members to become active in fishing comps and social events.
With Gerry stepping down from being Secretary, Gerry has agreed to help with maintaining the Facebook page and website so thanks Gerry.
Edward Crossland, grandson of our esteemed Life Member Don Ellis has agreed to become the club’s Secretary ably assisted by his mother Louise Ellis who has agreed to become the club’s Assistant Secretary. Please help both Edward and Louise as they take up their new roles.
As another season starts, the 89th year commences and the Angling committee have put out a very good season full of great venues to fish.
I urge those to support these venues as much as you can.
In closing I thank all who have contributed to making this a great club and I look forward to serving you for the next season.

ANOTHER GREAT SNAP FROM TODAY'S PETER ELLIOT TROPHY DAY ON THE GOULBURN
Another great snap from our Peter Elliot Trophy Day on the Goulburn River.
Left to right we have George and Judy Green and Mark Delziel proudly showing the best of their catches.
Mark hauled in the heaviest fish but we are not sure where from. But he was at the place called the Breakaway.
George won the competition and trophy with a 3.5kg bag. He caught more fish so he had the overall bag weight.
Judy got 2.4kg. Both caught theirs at the Alexander Bridge.
Congratulations to George, Judy and Mark.
The Pres Made it to Thornton This Morning
Ian and Gaynor Morris braved the cold this morning to join in the Club Fresh Water Competition on the Goulburn River for the Peter Elliot Trophy.
Best of fishing to all our members who braved the cold this morning.
