13.01.2022 Message to all Vikings Fishing Club members from President Robbo: Hi Members, As I'm sure you're aware we are in unprecedented times.... Due to the directive of our Government, all meetings, trips and social events are cancelled until further notice. This will extend to the rental of our Bermagui house. Full refunds will apply to all with the exception of the Mega trip, which we hope will still go ahead at this stage. Thankfully the club is in a sound financial position and we will be able to ride this out. Please stay safe, wash your hands and self isolate while floating in your boat, we will reunite soon. Robbo

12.01.2022 A mammoth effort by the fishing club guys in replacing the much needed laser lite over the rear top deck of our Bermagui house. A social few hours with many chiefs and 1 Indian being Anton our Russian backpacker member who did a great job doing all the high elevation tasks without falling (safety rope attached of course) Work has now finished, let the fishing being. Tomorrows fishing will culminate in a Royallan pig on the spit dinner with all the trimmings for all to enjoy - it’s a hard life on these fishing weekends but someone has to do it
