February 2014 President’s page To all members and your families may you enjoy a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2014.!For some the beginning of a new year sees resolutions put in place. Some are achieved, others are forgotten or just put in the too hard basket. I would like to suggest a new year resolution for each member — support the club. This may only be by attending the general meetings or attending club trips, but the support and attendance of members at NSFFC events is what makes our club so great. The committee is committed to making your club the best it possibly can be but along the way we are going to need your help. Some of the priorities for 2014 are better membership services, recruitment and retention of members and the club’s financial viability. All of these priorities are of course interrelated. They are challenging to achieve and require consideration as a group. Remember that communication works both ways. If you have a query, issue, concern or suggestion about the management of the club or any other club related matter speak to one of the committee members or give me a buzz or drop me an email. February activities We have a guest speaker at the first general meeting of What’s On the year on Thursday 6 February — Jim Baumgurtel from FlyFinz.

Club Fly Tying I had a call from the local council recently saying that they had received feedback from a member of the public that fish gut and fishing line had been found lying around the lake. The council’s concern was public safety (someone being hurt by a hook) and the safety of wildlife. The council certainly wasn’t ‘pointing the finger’ at the club, but just wanted to make us aware that we are in the public eye. Council employee, Rod, suggested (and is going to investigate) placing signage and rubbish bins around the lake. This call was timely as I was at the club setting up for casting last Thursday and found a length of line with a sinker on the end. We also found gut in the casting pool while cleaning it last week. If you happen to see fishing line or other rubbish left around the club rooms please pick it up and dispose of it properly.! And finally Finally, I want to take this opportunity to again thank our sponsors for their support and participation last year and we look forward to working with you in the year ahead. So that’s a quick heads-up on what lies ahead over the next month. Get involved and enjoy your club — I reckon the more you put in, the more you get out of it. Enjoy 2014 and ensure you continue to achieve satisfaction from being a member of Northern Suburbs Fly Fishing Club.

  • Prospecting in Victoria
    PROSPECTING IN VICTORIA 1. What is a Miner’s Right? A Miner’s Right is a permit to prospect for minerals on unreserved Crown Land or Private Land where the permission of the landowner has been granted. 2. What is prospecting / fossicking? Prospecting involves the use of metal detectors, hand tools, pans or simple sluices in the search for gold and gemstones. 3. Why is a Miner’s Right required to prospect for minerals? All minerals belong to the Crown, even on private land. A Miner’s Right transfers the ownership of any minerals found whilst prospecting, to the holder of the Miners Right. 4. Who needs a Miner’s Right? Anyone searching for minerals needs to have an exploration licence, a mining licence or a Miner’s Right. 5. Does that mean that a Miner’s Right is required even if you are fossicking on your own land? Yes. 6. How much is a Miner’s Right? Refer to Earth Resources Fees and Charges 7. How long does a Miner’s Right last? You can purchase a Miner’s Right for 2 or 10 years, but not exceeding 10. 8. Do pensioners, people who are unemployed or people with disabilities receive any concessional discount if they purchase a Miner’s Right? No. 9. Do hobbyists or gemstone seekers require a Miner’s Right? Yes. 10. If a family goes away prospecting and fossicking does each family member need a Miner’s Right? All adults who intend to fossick must have a Miner’s Right. Children under supervision of an adult with a Miner’s Right do not need a Miner’s Right of their own.
