One Big Rig

We've all seen it from afar, but two of our members got
(relatively) up close and personal.

Last Month Darren and Tracey Keast took advantage of the
fabulous weather and toured around the Ocean Onyx Rig.
The rig has now left the Bay, but at least we have these
photos of this amazing structure.

A little piece of Deniliquin

On a recent trip to
Deniliquin on a much
needed break, Ann
managed to score
herself a little beauty in
the fishing competition,
and enjoyed all that
Deniliquin has to offer -
even a heavy downpour
on a 39 degree day!

A special thank you

Recently Dr Sol Sahhar one of the West's long-standing Obstetrician and Gynaocologist held
a 60th birthday party at the club. Some of you may remember that Dr Sahhar's family had a
long history with the club and their boat Mon Pere Emile, named after Dr Sahhar's father Emile
Sahhar.

Below is a letter of thank you to the staff for helping make the occasion a memorable one.
