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 14th of November 2025. 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.

Could you please notify the Club of your captures and Tag and Release details for the season ended 30th June 2025 by the 7th of November. Club trophies will be presented and announced at the AGM.
New Members
