|
Welcome and thanks Andrew Whitehead and Byron Ashington for volunteering to assist me and participate in an FBYC Angling subcommittee.
|
The Ice machine has been moved to its new position and is back in working order.
|
I have received many requests for a webcam that will show us a view of the bay. Today was typical, while it was white capping at millers, Simons Bay was fine for chokka fishing.
|
We intend installing a web camera on the flagpole on rumbles jetty and consequently calling for donations towards the data link, camera and router.
|
Ideally we need a hi site, maybe someone has a spot?
|
We have also been donated a new scale by our Commodore, Rob Newman. Thanks.
|
I have rigged up a block and tackle arrangement for lifting large tuna.
|
We need a lockable box that can be installed near security so that anglers can sign for the scale when they have a PB they would like to weigh and for future competitions.
|
We can't leave it up unfortunately, children are likely to play with it and could get hurt. Anybody have a suitable lockable box, please make contact.
