The time honoured tradition for our great Club continues on Friday November 22nd at the Australian Club.
Across 10 calendar decades our Club has graciously gathered to share in each others company and preserve the history of Australia's oldest game fishing organisation. 2024s Annual Dinner again promises to be an outstanding evening and occasion.
Along with the presentation of Club Trophies, The Presidents Report and the chance to recount fishing stories with Club friends we have invited Capt. Richard Abela to join us as our Invitational Guest Speaker. He will be on deck to discuss his own and customers experiences catching local Swordfish, and spill the secrets on how this fishery continues to surprise us and what can be expected when tussling these mighty game fish.
It is with great pleasure we invite all Club members (and guests) to the 2024 Swordfish & Tunny Club Annual Dinner & AGM.

The Annual General Meeting
This year's AGM will cover the following Club business matters:
· To receive the President’s Annual Report.
· To consider the Statement of Receipts and Expenditure for the financial year.
· To elect Office Bearers for the ensuing year.
· To consider any other business which may be brought before the meeting in accordance with the Rules of the Club.
Committee & Office Bearers
The Nomination for Committee/Office Bearers is a very important part of the AGM.
If you wish to nominate a member who you consider would be able to make essential and important contributions to the Club, please notify Club Secretary & Treasurer Mark Nantie on 0419 334 828 before the 8th of November 2024. This will be the only opportunity to nominate for a position. As part of the Club's constitution all Office Bearers vacate their positions at the AGM, and a new committee is elected based on nominations.
It is vitally important that we have people on the Committee who are prepared to devote their time and talents to take the Club forward. Many of the members of the committee have held their respective roles for many years, and the Club needs fresh talent to generate new ideas and ensure the Club's future is prosperous.
Furthermore, if you are unable to attend the AGM and wish to proxy your vote to another member on matters of business please notify the Club (info@swordfishandtunnyclub.org) for a form.

New Members
