4×4 Anniversary Weekend

Manager — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:29:20 +0000

Thirteen 4×4 vehicles met early at Club Waimea to be briefed by Jim Allen on their trip. The trip was very much a local history lesson with many fascinating facts divulged along the way. Riverlands Cob Cottage (built 1865) was the first stop, then Redwood Pass Road passing lagoons to Dashwood and on to Seddon and Blind River. In 1948 the Christchurch-Picton express left the rails there killing six people.The Clarence River was the site of the steamer Taiaroa’s wreck in 1886 with 33 lives lost. On to Kaikoura and an enjoyable night of socialising at a nearby hotel. The back road was taken from Kaikoura to Waiau and onto Hanmer Springs, then over Jollies Pass and onto the Molesworth Road. After travelling through the Awatere Valley to Blenheim it was home to Club Waimea, completing a most enjoyable trip.

Ole Nick’s Fisho Traces

Manager — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:14:51 +0000

Those who attended “Ole Nicks Fisho Traces” demonstrationon Wednesday 3 February were treated to a night of tricks and knots and a lot more! Yes Bruce shared everything from different types of tackle, braid versus nylon, baits to the do’s and don’ts and how to catch the BIG one. It was such a good night that many of us were still there till well after9pm. For those that don’t have time or the inclination of making your own tackle you could also purchase tackle on the night at great discount prices, just for the Waimea Fishing Section. It was such a fantastic night that Bruce has joined the Waimea Club and the Fishing section. Watch this space for the next date as we have invited Bruce to return and share more tips. In the meantime the Fishing section has trips planned
Fishing Club news out of Kaikoura and Picton in the next few months. Meetings held first Wednesday of every month. So come along and meet the gang – we’re a fun bunch and love our fishing.

See you at our next meetingWednesday 3rd March at the Waimea Club rooms.

Of note: As a matter of interest,
remember the photo of Viv with her
‘baby groper’ in the last Club Waimea
newsletter. Dan Carter and Todd
Blackadder were most impressed
by the catch shown in the pic which
prompted them to discuss their fishing
exploits when the Crusaders
were in the district recently.
