You may have heard that VMR Bundaberg runs the ‘Volunteer Marine Rescue Bundaberg Family Fishing Classic’ each year as a fund raiser for the unit. Our 2011 event will be held over the last weekend of June from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th June 2011 and is held in the grounds of our base at 51 Harbour Esplanade Burnett Heads.
We had a very successful and record breaking event for our 2010 Fishing Classic held in June last year thanks to our sponsors. Indeed, we smashed our previous record to achieve 901 entrants (started in 2006 with 465). Sponsorship also broke all records with prizes on offer reaching over $44,000 and total sponsorship to operate the event exceeding $66,000. Our Classic is fast becoming the premier fishing event in the Wide Bay area and we are looking to break all records again in 2011.
The Classic has raised some very much needed funds for our continued operation and particularly for our rescue boat replacement program. Planning is well underway for the 2011 event.
This year we are providing a boat/motor/trailer/carport package as our 1st major senior lucky draw prize and for the first time to reflect our growth we are offering a 2nd major lucky draw prize of another boat/motor/trailer package. Both of these boat prizes total $17,500 in value –another record for us.
This year, we have developed a web site and this went live yesterday. Check us out at www.vmrbundabergfishingclassic.com.au (http://www.vmrbundabergfishingclassic.com.au/) . It’s early days for this and we still have some more to add and refine on this site including use of PayPal for payment of entries to the Classic.
I would like to extend an invitation to Ausfishers to attend our 2011 Classic should you be in our area from 24th to 26th June 2011. Fishing starts 0600hrs on 24th and finishes 1200hrs on the 26th. Presentations will be held on the Saturday night 25th from 6:00pm to about 7:30pm and the grand presentations will take place from 1:00pm to about 4:00pm on the Sunday 26th.
For more information about the event just check out our web site or give me a call on 0418 734 825. I’d love to have you there even if it is for only some time during the weekend. Better still, why not come up or down for a holiday and have a fish over the weekend. You never know, you may win a prize or one of the lucky draws (you don’t have to fish to enter the lucky draws, just enter the Classic). This year, prizes and lucky draws will exceed $40,000 in value. Entry forms are available on the web site.
Come and say G’day.
