Presidents Message
Dear Corinella Boating and Angling Club Member, welcome to the 2016 CBAC AGM and Presentation Night.
I would like to thank committee members past and present and individuals who have helped me in the running of the club. Without your support the job as President would be so much harder. Your support has been greatly appreciated.
The future:
The club over the years has had its trials and tribulations regarding growth and keeping the club relevant to the membership. The committee has always strived to make comps and the social events interesting. This is not
always an easy task and with the commitment of the current and previous committee, this job has been made a lot easier.
To the incoming committee, I wish them all the best in their endeavours to grow the club and keep it relevant. There are some experienced committee members as well as some new committee members who will hopefully bring new and exciting ideas to the club.
To all members, thank you for your support. Without you we wouldn’t have a club.
Please continue to support the club where you can, to ensure that we extend on the 35 years that the club has been running.
All the very best and see you out on the water!
Bob Ricketts
My name is Diane Heppleston

/ This will be my last as President of the club and it is timely to reflect on the year and the milestones the club has achieved over the last few years.
First the year in review:
The club as in previous years, held a number of fishing comps and social events. All were well attended, however, as always, the more members we get involved the greater the success these events will be.
The annual Yaringa lunch cruise was held with a number of members including Life Member Bob Bray enjoying a great day. Other social
events included the club’s Christmas function which saw members enjoy a feast of good food.
Fishing comps were well attended with the Colin Eden Mako Comp and the inaugural Keith Smith Whiting Challenge held in memory of the club member Keith Smith. Keith’s family attended the presentation bbq and presented the winners of the comp Brian Ellis (senior) and Brian Kelson (junior) with their trophies. The inaugural event was a great success and I’m sure the event will continue for years to come.
Other highlights of the year included:
- Significant advancement of the clubhouse project
- The club is in a sound position
- Revamped Club website with online capacities
Over the year a number of great people have helped the committee run the club and try and provide members with a variety of activities both fishing and social. Activities that bind members together and hopefully create lasting
friendships.
