Big thank you to Kathy and Dale Robertson for the donation of this year’s trophies.
A tribute to Russell Carruthers was made in a speech by Phil Cramp.
Phil spoke about how Russell was one of the founding members, who donated the first weighing scales and helped the club get their fishing club trailer.
He also, for many years, would let us cut the wood on his property for our famous fishing club wood raffles. The whole fishing club community would like to pass on our condolences to Narelle, Shondelle, Mac, Josh and Jake.
