DURING the school holidays we conducted a junior fishing clinic, children from Narooma Public School attended and learnt some basics of our sport.

On November 17/18 we hosted children from Canteen to many activites, including input from some of our sponsors for accommodation, tours and entertainment,

The club assisted 15 girls and 1 boy to enjoy the hospitality of the Narooma Area, as we hosted CanTeen children to forget for a while the health troubles they have and/or are associated with.

With aid of Easts Van Park, Darryl’s Narooma Charters, Linda’s Sweets and Treats, Fishing Punts and donations from locals and a lot of hard work by Club members, a lot of Happy teen age children enjoyed an all too short stay. Teens from the mountains, from ACT from the Gong and many other places, all saw, experienced, tried, watched, slept and ate their way through nearly 48 action filled hours, all thanks to Narooma citizens and our NSGFC members who gave their all.

Then on November 24/25 the younger children of Camp Quality will follow the same format.

Throughout January we are repeating our Bluewater Classic, a full month of recording best catches wide of the Narooma area.

Presentation afternoon is Friday evening, February 1.

February sees the NSGFC annual convention, the highlight of our fishing year, where visitors from many affliliated clubs fish our beaches, estuary, rocks and bluewater over dates February 29 and March 1 and 2 culminating in a presentation on the Sunday afternoon.

Our aims are to continue assisting our members and the community in the enjoyment of fishing and the social interaction evolving in the enjoyable atmosphere of our clubrooms, Riverside Drive, Narooma.
