Botany Bay Gfc

skippered by Bernie Smith, who later in life moved to Cairns and was a successfully skipper and charter boat operator. Bill instantly developed a passion for Game Fishing and saw an opportunity to start a Game Fishing Club running out of Botany Bay. In September 1971 Bill along with eight others decided that Botany Bay was an ideal position for a Game Fishing Club so on 25th October, 1971 Botany Bay held its foundation meeting in a boat marina shed. Present at that meeting were the following members; Bill Heyward, Phil Birdsall, John Blight, Ron Young, Jim Brown, Merv Charles, Stan Faulkner, Bob Randell, Ray Archer, Ernie Way, T Burt and T Murphy. Being a member of Botany Bay means you have access to fully calibrated weigh station (you can weigh you record claims at home without the need to go elsewhere), regular member meetings, family social days as well as receiving our monthly News Log. Life Members:

Bill Heyward (Deceased), Joyce Heyward, Kevin Hegner, Grahame Williams OAM, Bill Heaton, Robert Curry, Paul Ghosn, Ameen Ayoub
