Wednesday, 17 September Annual Club Auction Night

Time: 7pm

Venue: Fish & Game rooms, Champion Road, Richmond.

Each year our fishing club runs an auction night, where members bid on various fishing items that have been donated (or sold on behalf) by others.  Aside from being a fun night for all involved, the auction is a win-win-win for everyone:

  • members donating gear they no longer use get to clean out the garage (making room for the purchase of more fishing gear!);

  • members making purchases at the auction obtain equipment at very reasonable prices; and 

  • the Fishing Club raises funds that are used to support future club events for members as well as fishing-related community events, such as the Youth Fishing Trust.  Last year, the auction raised over $1,300.


Sunday, 22 September, River skills and BBQ

Time: 9.30 am

Venue: Waimea River, parking area on the western side of the Appleby Bridge

This is an on-river workshop, covering casting technique and line management in a moving water environment.

The session will then be followed by a BBQ and refreshments.
(Rods and reels are available for those who need them)

NB: If the weather is not suitable on the planned date, the workshops will slide back to the following weekend.
