Hello Members, This TIDE edition completes my first year as Commodore. The last 12 months have been eventful, and I believe pretty good ones for the Club. We have been able to sustain and improve the Club while facing imminent relocation and a persistent pandemic. I have to say I’m proud of the way our Club has risen to the challenges.

As part of the effort to protect the Club’s future, the 2022/2023 Committee will address: • Membership Capacity - the Committee will continue to review membership numbers each month to ensure the enjoyment of the Club by members is not impeded by overcrowding.

• By-Laws – The Management Committee has the responsibility for the Club’s By-laws, and is in the process of updating them. The intention is to have a draft ready for the members in the coming months.

From Commodorethe Ken Wood Ken Wood Commodore 4 • Club Constitution – The Club’s Constitution needs an overhaul, and to that end, the Committee will draft a revised Constitution for members’ review at the Half-Yearly General Meeting in February. Club Operations Our General Manager Fenn McDonnell has completed his first year, and I’d like to acknowledge his efforts to date. He and our Staff have maintained and even improved all areas of Club operations, including the office, bar, galley and functions. Balancing the wants and needs of a diverse membership seeking to enjoy our little Club in their own way will always present a challenge, and I would like to thank both the Members and Staff for their efforts and patience in making it work.

Club Relocation

Best regards, 5

I would like to express my appreciation for the effort the Management Committee has put into guiding the Club in 2021/2022. I especially want to thank two of the more hard-working members, Peter Hawker – Treasurer, and Dave HarnettSecretary, who are stepping back from their roles to give others a go. The activity Sections have nominated new Rear Commodores, and I would like to give thanks to their Section leaders taking a Johnbreak:Lebeter

Club Management

The latest update from Development WA regarding the timeline for the project indicates they intend to complete the breakwater by the end of the year and commence dredging and seawall construction immediately after. Land clearing adjacent to the Club will begin in September and will continue into next year. Construction of the new club facility is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2023, with a 14-month build duration. Negotiations with the City of Joondalup regarding our future tenancy agreement have been initiated, and we’re hoping to have a recommendation to present to the members in time for the Half-Yearly General Meeting in February. The response from the members to the invitation to participate in the relocation working groups has been very positive, and we will keep members apprised of the results of their work. Finally, my personal thanks to all our volunteers for their selfless and under-appreciated help. They’re usually in the background, dedicating their time to getting things done for their Club. As an organization primarily run by volunteers, any success we have enjoyed is in large measure due to their efforts.

Hello members, I have to say I am looking forward to spring weather and the summer season full of festivities. Events We are kicking off the Spring/Summer events with a “Spring By The Sea” on the 1st of October. This will have plenty of entertainment, games, activities for kids and adults and a special spring menu. Open Day – Opening of the Seasons will be on the 9th of October. Back by popular demand will be another “Bali By The Sea 3.0” event on the 12th of November. We welcome back the Bali Community to join forces and make us feel like we are in Bali without needing to fly anywhere. Committee I would like to welcome our new committee members following our AGM. It’s great to see some new faces. Plus, a big thank you to the retiring members of the committee. The Rear Commodores as well as Peter Hawker and Dave Harnett who have both done an amazing job and have been very supportive in my first year at the club. Playground We will have a brand-new playground in September; this will be a highlight for the young ones to enjoy the club even more. Please be patient as there may be a few days that kids will not be able to use the playground whilst the installation is taking place.

Our new POS is finally installed. We trust this will help with more efficient service and less waiting times with better technology. Members can now order food from any till. Please be patient as with any major systems upgrade, there might be a few bumps in the road.

Currently, we are looking for: - Assistant Bar Manager/Duty Manager - Sous Chef/Senior Chef - Yardy/Maintenance General Hand As always, my door is always open, please come and say g’day any time with any suggestions. Look forward to seeing you all down at the Club. Regards, 6

July Boat Fishing Comp

SummarySeason Francis McKeown

July seems such a long time ago now but I haven't lost my marbles just yet!

The weather forecast as I remember it wasn't going to be that bad, Reel Crazy headed West and it wasn't too long before Terry and I were looking at each other thinking this isn't good but we pushed on. The further we went the better the day got. The weather may now be playing ball but the fish weren't. Again, we persisted, and some fish ended up in the esky. Back at Ocean Reef Sea Sports Club at the weighing area, it was pleasing to see a good number of bags to be weighted. Even more pleasing was to see some ladies and mini juniors had also been fishing and had bags to weigh in – well done!

UPCOMING EVENTS

Unfortunately I was away for the August competition, sunning myself in the NT and playing with crocs. I believe the weather forecast was for quite a bit of rain which didn't stop the die-hards from venturing out.... good on you!

In the ladies, Maree come second with one of many wrasse she caught over the weekend weighing 389g. Maree also got another Octopus which she released AGAIN! Good work Maree! Sue Freeman won the ladies, with 4 species including a flathead of 379g and a Tailor of 548g. Sue ended up with 63 points. In the mens, Ricko came second with 4 species, 2 heaviest with a score of 58 points. John Lebeter won again with 6 species, 4 heaviest, with a total score of 93 points. John had the biggest Tailor(763g) & Skippy(560g) of the day. There was a funny incident at the end of the awards with the lucky competitor prize randomly selecting Doug Fox. The joy was short lived as Doug was ineligible as the whiting he caught shrunk below the minimum size of 20cm meaning it was awarded to the next in line being Mark Purchas. It was a bit of a double kick in the guts for Doug. As the good bloke Doug is he had a good chuckle and hopefully his luck turns around for the next comp. The next and last beach competition for the year is the 18/19th of September. Hopefully we get some great numbers participating.

July Beach Fishing Comp With another monthly comp falling in the middle of winter it was a nice to see the numbers almost double this comp with 10 anglers weighing in. The weather for the weekend actually ended up fairly nice. Low winds and sunshine for most of the Saturday meant for comfortable fishing conditions. My plans for a snapper on the drone went pearshaped shortly after my drone took flight, as the connection with the controller was lost…sending it spiralling into the surf. I managed to pull it back in but it was probably the last time she'll fly. All was forgotten after a few pints and an early dinner with mr mulloway himself at the pub. Mark, Nicole, Doug, Chris & Maree all headed south in hope for some Salmon and a few other south coast species. Maree got herself a Wrasse which gained her second place. Maree also hooked a MONSTER Octopus and after telling everyone at the club she released it, wasn't too popular! I'm not a massive fan of eating Octopus, but I tell ya the only man that's cooked it that I've really enjoyed, was Doug Rasmussen's pickled occy. Absolutely Nicoledelicious!Fraser ended up winning the ladies with 2 species, a herring & wrasse of 470 grams. Nicole ended up with 35 points, she also managed to get a squid off the Busso jetty, Great work! That's a couple of weeks in a row now Nicole has been victorious.

In the vets Locky won with 70 points, which included 4 species all heaviest including a chunky 652g Skippy. Graeme Cole came second with 2 species and a score of 22 points. In the mens, Doug fox came in third place with 2 species totalling 34 points. Doug also got a Mullet in those 2 fish. In second place, with 6 species, was Ricko. In his bag, he had only the one heaviest which was a 105g whiting. Ricko also got a decent skippy of 495g & Tailor of 630g. John Lebeter ended up winning overall, with 6 species also but 4 heaviest. John ended up with 94 points including a Tailor of 656g, Tarwhine of 454g & a lovely Skippy of 763g. Nicely done Pommy! John’s luck didn't end there with him winning the mystery fish which was the Tailor! $110 was in the envelope which I'm sure he'll shout us all a beer at the next weigh in... NOT!!! Aha! We only have 2 more comps until the start of the 22/23 season.

August Beach Fishing Comp

The weather for this month's competition was fairly good, especially considering the horrendous weather Perth has faced in the past 3 weeks. Apart from being a very chilly weekend, it was perfect. The cold weather must of kept a few people inside with their heaters on as we only had 12 bags weighed in. In the mini juniors, we had 2 kids weigh in with Kaia & Crew both catching a wrasse each, with crew winning with the heaviest (468g to 322g). In the vets we had Clive & Locky, both with 5 species & 3 heaviest. Clive officially won, having the extra 8 grams of weight in his bag! Doesn't get much closer than that. Maybe should of rolled a few of those fish in the sand Locky aha! This is the first time in awhile that Clive has beaten Locky, this was made even sweeter as per the tradition of their rivalry, Clive had his Guinness served by Locky on one knee in front of the crowd.

The Winter Series is well underway with nearly reaching the halfway point. ORSSC teams continue to perform strongly. In some cases, the leader board isn’t doing justice for some teams with last place beating the leading team regularly. At the end of the day though it’s all about consistency and in my case pure “luck” getting the winning pegs. It has been great to see some of the C-grade players stepping up to help out our B-grade team who were short on numbers. Bluewater Darts Association runs the competition and will celebrate their 40th year in September 2022.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION By the time this report is published the Sailing Section will have a new Rear Commodore – Andrew Hodkinson. Andrew is the owner of “Venomous” which is a Spider 28 Trailer Sailer. We welcome him to the role and wish him well.

1st Place in the W1 race, both W2 and W3 races were cancelled due to poor weather and Venomous triumphant in the W4. Carnage on the Hardstand A couple of “once a year” cold fronts have smashed into the Ocean Reef coast this winter causing damage to one of the boats in the Hardstand. Our Commodore Ken Wood’s yacht “Louisa”, could not stay on her trailer during a big gust and took off in flight again once more. It appears the fence broke her fall to some extent and it appears her injuries are somewhat superficial at the time of this report.

A beautiful clear weekend of winter weather had a large contingent of members from the Power Boat Section heading to the spectacular southwest town of Dwellingup.

1-3 July 2022 Weekend Camping Adventure at Nanaga Bush Camp, Dwellingup in conjunction with the Dive Section

Sunday had us all heading home with great memories of a wonderful weekend of friendship and shared interests.

With some mild trepidation members headed off for a weekend of camping which turned out to be anything but and a lot closer to glamping. The large communal wood log cabin easily housed all our members, Indoor fires and a large kitchen and community areas ensured a very social atmosphere.

Lunch at East Fremantle Yacht Club 9 July

Unfortunately, the weather was completely against the members who were planning to arrive by boat at the East Fremantle Yacht club. Deciding to arrive by car we were welcomed by the club for a wonderful lunch overlooking the Swan River. The venue and the many members who attended made for a great afternoon despite the massive squalls of wind and rain that battered the club house.

Many varied on and off water activities are planned for the next few months.

SummarySeason Steve Hayward GENERAL BUSINESS

Saturday morning had the crew up early for hikes around the surrounding bush land, followed by a relaxed lunch at a local cidery. Saturday night saw a number of member head off to the local watering hole to catch a game of rugby on the big screen between South Africa and Wales before returning to the firepit to share memories of the game.

Nanga Bush Camp A magical weekend was had by 29 ORSSC members from the Dive, Powerboat and Social Sections -very bi-sectional!!! The trip was arranged by Erick Erhard and Rick Green. A lively interactive group of like-minded people. First stop, lunch on Friday at the old Dwellingup Pub. Mother Nature turned off the heat but showered us in glorious sunshine, with no wind or rain for the whole weekend. The campfires were glowing round the clock to warm the chilly air at Nanga. This was mainly thanks to the ‘wood collecting wheelbarrow fillers’ and fire packers! Midnight trips to the loo saw the fires topped up so the early noisy risers could have a warm place to huddle with the first cuppas! Comfy bunk house style accommodation, ear plugs were a must, as a few endeavoured to suck the curtains from the windows (snorers!). A sprint to the screaming hot showers wasn’t for the faint-hearted, as the draught in the washrooms would have turned you blue or skint the cat. One participant selected to have a cold shower unknowing the screaming hot water was on the other side. As if it wasn’t cold enough. The kitchen facility was excellent, with plenty of space for all to prepare food of many culinary delights. Friday night dinner was a cook-up with catch-up banter and bevies. Saturday morning saw tour guide Phil Gallagher lead the motley mob around the National Park in a convoy, all reminiscing about the ‘old Dwellingup bush camping days’-dirt tracks, bush toilets and no camping systems. Now, all the roads are sealed, campsites are organised, and many new picnic areas and ablution blocks are scattered about the park - a credit to the Shire for preserving this beautiful spot. A Saturday lunchtime trip to the Cidery for tasting and mini lunch, before afternoon naps for those who were off to the village to watch the Rugby. In the afternoon the E-scooters came out for a whizz about the camp, the alfresco fire pit (after a great effort by a few!) was a blaze amongst the kookaburras and the jovial banter of the group.

On July 23rd the dive section held its end-ofseason function which was a Swan River Cruise. It was a great day for the 35 section members who came along, however the weather wasn’t really on our side with a lot of rain and wind. The day started at midday with everyone dressed in their Christmas-themed outfits boarding the party bus to head down to Barrack Street Jetty. We were almost on the freeway when it was discovered there was no champagne on board for the ladies - so it was a quick detour back to the club for Oncesupplies.onboard the Charter Boat, we headed down to Matilda Bay and picked up a mooring so we could sit back and enjoy whilst the crew cooked up the BBQ. After a lovely lunch and a few speeches, we cruised down the river but it was a bit windy out on the river so we headed back to Elizabeth Keys where we spent our remaining time in calm waters and the Perth skyline in front of us. Once back at Barrack Street and a quick transfer from boat to bus we were in for another entertaining trip back to the club with many great singers and dancers all the way. Many thanks to everyone who came along and helped transfer food and drinks from bus to boat and back and special thanks to Paula for making the salads and Georgina for organising our drinks.

I would like to thank the dive section and the management committee for their support over the last two years as Rear Commodore of the Dive Section, and welcome Laurie Campbell as the new Rear Commodore.

GENERAL BUSINESS Compressor training will be held on the 10th of September 2022 at 11am - all welcome. If you are unable to make this date, feel free to contact Graeme Cole to make another time.

SummarySeason Erick Erhard 23

Dive section dine-in has been well attended with 30 members coming along and the dive meetings have been well attended.

ReportDivingThe Music and laughter were flowing into the night under the clear starry sky. There were visits from cheeky Bandicoots and naughty kangaroos - Rick was tested to share his biscuit with one little fellow. He liked it so much that he let himself and his mates into the kitchen later to scavenge more! Sunday began with a yummy breakfast, a quick busy bee clean-up of the facilities, fond farewells for a few, and most of the group boarded the Hotham Valley Steam Ranger Train for a 2-hour ride along the old train lines through historic Dwellingup. A most enjoyable start to the day before the road trip back to APerth.proposal to repeat the trip in 2023 and hire the Kayaks so that all can have a paddle to their experience levels on the river which is adjacent to the accommodation.
