Clean up australia day.

[kmcrosby78]

Last year a few of us got there early and shared castnetting tips. (I was a taker not a giver :blush: ). If there's some guys out there that would like or benefit from something similar speak up in this thread; it's an easy thing to organise. Don't be shy.

Yes please. I tried 3 weeks ago and seem to have forgotten how to do it again.

Cheers,

Kelvin.

OK then, even if you're not planning on participating in the cleanup, come along at 7:30 for some education.

First off we'll need a volunteer cast-net teacher. (Students bring your own net if you have one)

Anything else ? e.g. knot tieing, how to make those stupid tie-down ratchets work easily,...

[Angus]

Hey guys.

Just a reminder the 2nd batch of AFO Tourny style shirts will be available for pick up at this event

Hope to see a lot of you there!

Ok, sausage sizzle is now organised for when we wrap up the Clean Up. If you haven't yet volunteered to help out, it's not too late!! The more people the better so if you can spare a few hours on Sunday morning to lend a hand it would be greatly appreciated by the fish in the river
