Volunteers Sought for the 4×4 Fishing & Boating Expo

Dear Members, SFF have once again been invited to participate in the 4×4 Fishing & Boating Expo on the Yarra Valley Fly Fishers stand, held at the Melbourne Showgrounds from 22nd to 24th August.

http://4x4show.com.au/MEL/

This is an excellent opportunity to promote SFF and encourage new members. We are looking for volunteers to man the stand.

“What do you need to do as a volunteer?” – talk about fly fishing and promote the club. Also as in previous years you can demonstrate fly tying, and help out in the casting cage to demonstrate and teach basic casting to the show attendees.

The aim is to have 2 people per session noted in the table below:

Friday 22nd August Saturday 23rd August Sunday 24th August
9:00 am to 1:30 pm 9:00 am to 1:30 pm 9:00 am to 1:30 pm
1:30 pm to 6:00 pm 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm

If you are able to assist in this excellent opportunity to promote fly fishing and SFF then please contact Graham Foxman directly on 0409 335 841. Those volunteering will be provided with an entry pass.
