January has been a very busy time on the water with many of us making the best of some incredible weather and getting away. I was lucky enough to go to Mandurah and moored the boat at the loading jetty at the Mandurah Offshore Fishing and sailing Club. This is an excellent place to visit which has floating jetties with power and water supplied. They offer special rates for members visiting from other clubs and they are very hospitable. On Friday 23rd of January the club hosted the “Dail Platz” Johnny Cash Tribute Show as a lead in event to the Australia Day Weekend. The night was extremely successful for the club and I am sure everybody who attended had a great night. We are looking at having Dail back later in the year. Many boating members also attended the Fremantle or Perth Fireworks, visited Garden Island or Rottnest and the Cruising Section sailed off in convoy to Rockingham and Mangles Bay where a great time was had by all. It is also very encouraging to see so many of our non-boating members using the clubs facilities during the week for lunches or meetings and those who flock to the Sunday Sessions with their families to enjoy the music and atmosphere. This ensures that the most is being made of the venue. The building plans are currently with the Swan River Trust and we will want to start the works in a staged way to minimise disruption as soon as we get the approvals. Whilst having to wait for the approval process to take its course we are continuing to get as much preliminary work done as possible. This includes fine tuning the plans, working with the Quantity Surveyor to cost the project and approaching other funding bodies that may be able to make a contribution to the important areas of asbestos removal and connection to deep sewage. If you believe you can be of assistance please contact Damien to offer your services. On a sad note Life Member Bob Sutcliffe has recently passed away. Bob made a great contribution to the club over many years and our condolences go out to his family, RIP Bob. Also another sad loss for the club with the recent passing of member Brian Walton, condolences to hi family also. RIP Brian. All the best Kim Wilkie AM COMMODORE

Angling Report

After cancelling several Field Days in December we finally had a competition on Sunday 18th January with a

great turn out of 14 boats.

Just goes to show that we were all hanging out to get out there and test our skills. Weather wise it was an

average day with an early South Westerly with a blanket of fog that appeared like approaching rain but when

it hit us it was just a thick blanket of fog (or 'Bigga the Mist', as Alf would say). It was a great to see all our

members at the 'Weigh in' in their Angling shirts.....we looked a team lads !!

Fish wise, nothing spectacular was caught as they were just not biting (that's my excuse) out there except for the 3 Dhuies landed by Steve White, Stuart Kenyon & Gil Sander. This was Stuart's first Dhuie using White Plastic bait.....well done lads.

Our January Winners are as follows -

January Top Guns

1st Steve White - 85 Points

2nd

Kevin Bielby - 60 Points

3rd

Gil Sander - 50 Points

Participation Prizes

1st Owen Blackbeard - $25 Cash from Black Pete Tackle

A Happy Birthday to Lesley Kenyon & our Captain Dave Birchenough who celebrated his 60th birthday

this month. On a sadder note Dave lost his Mum Dorian on Sunday 18th night on the Isle of Wight, UK. Our

sincere Condolences Dave, from all your Angling mates and the SYC.

A welcome to Mark Swift and Phil Jackson who have both joined the Angling Section.

We will be having 2 Field Days (Fishing Competitions) in February to make up for December's Field Day

that was cancelled.

The first will be on Sunday 1st February and the second Field Day will be on Sunday 15th February.

Anglers, Please make a note of these dates. We are also hoping to have a 'Raft Up' at Parker Point, Rotto over

the next couple of months, the date is yet to be confirmed.

Our annual Abrolhos Islands fishing trip has been booked for the 27th March with all spots filled. Our other

big event will be our annual Intra Club Fishing Competition on Sunday 26th April 2015, with Cash and

Great Prizes to be won, it is open to all SYC members.

The Angling Section is always looking for new members, especially juniors, so if you think you would like to

join the Angling Section just come along to one of our meeting on the 2nd Wednesday of every

month in the Ward Room at the club. It is great fun for the whole family and you can win prizes too, so

come along and join us.

And lastly, thank you to all those who support our raffles every Thursday night at the club and our sponsors -

Compleat Angler & Carrington Tackle who donate prizes for our monthly competitions, your support is

greatly appreciated.

Till Next Month, Tight lines - Ian Hall

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying the warm weather. This report finds Marian sitting by Dons side as he recovers from some gruelling surgery. We wish them both well for a speedy recovery. Things are quiet for the L.A. This time of year, with our next event helping out with the clubs Anzac Day celebrations. We attended the Johnny Cash Tribute show on the Australia Day long weekend and it was a magic night with well over 200 attending. I personally felt Dale made a better Willie Nelson but he is amazingly versatile and plays a range of instruments. If he returns to the club in the future I can thoroughly recommend the show to country music fans and anyone else who loves a tune. I just wish people would kick back and listen to the music instead of holding loud conversations and drowning out what the music lovers have come to hear. It is very frustrating. Maybe it is just because I am getting old but I find it so rude. Once again all our best wishes to Don and Maz. They do so much work around the club and we need them back here quickly Barb Jeffery

COMPETITION

2015 is a huge year for us with the State Championships on in March followed by the Nationals, here in Perth, in April then several of our members have been selected for the Australian Aurora’s crew going to Welland,

Canada for the World Championships in August!!!!

RECRUITMENT

Apart from all that we’re still recruiting, focusing on men, who enjoy getting out there on the water, wanting to increase their fitness – particularly upper body and who have a competitive streak. If this is you, or you

know someone who would like to try out, come on down to training Tue and Thu nights 5.45pm or Saturday afternoon 1.45pm. Women and juniors also more than welcome.

FUNDRAISING $10,000 RAFFLE

Our much anticipated $10,000 raffle is now on with maximum 200 tickets at $100 each, so yes, the odds are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Please contact Janice on 0467 070315 if you’d like to get hold of a ticket or two before

they all sell out. Raffle drawn Friday 10 April, 7pm at SYC.
