Commodore's Comments

In writing my first Commodore’s report I would like to acknowledge the great deal of work carried out by the retiring Commodore, John Firth. Most would not know the number of hours John has put in for the benefit of the club. John, along with former Commodore and board member Peter Barnes, will still spearhead our marina committee.

Congratulations to all the board members who have accepted their portfolios to provide members with quality service and events to ensure prosperity of the

club for the following years.

Welcome to new board member Tim Hipkin who has taken over as Fishing Director and also a warm welcome to Michael Busuttil who has accepted a non board position as Editor of the On Deck magazine.

The new calendar has now been distributed highlighting all the events for the 2013-2014 year.

The various committees put a lot of work into organizing these events, all of which need your participation to be successful. So please support your committees and your club and mark in your calendar now.

The Beatles Tribute Band night was packed and enjoyed by all. It was good to see the ‘oldies’ dancing and singing along to the 60’s numbers, the best music era of all. Congratulations to Gary Viner for winning the Best Dressed Beatle prize (I think he was wearing his pyjamas!).

The past two Parma nights have been very successful with sixty or more on both occasions. With the fire blazing, a hot parma and a cold beer with club members and guests, it makes for a great evening. Only one rule – please book in advance to ensure a table and there are enough parmas to go around.

I am pleased to advise there has been a change of conditions for the use of club members’ keys.

The amended by-law now includes the following provision in relation to members’ keys.

“Members’ keys are not to be transferred to any person except that the nominated spouse/partner (only) of a member is to be able to use their respective club members’ key within the club house provided that the club member is present within the club grounds”

I am sure this amendment will be appreciated by members and their partners and help make the club more user friendly for them.

Please contact club manager Paul Morgan or myself if you have any questions regarding this change.

The preliminary drawings of the proposed new club house have been well received by members. The design caters for amenities that are currently sadly lacking such as training rooms, kitchen facilities, archive storage, larger toilet areas and the ability to cater for more of our members at any one time. Your feedback on the layout proposed is most welcome.

I would like to welcome this years’ intake of new members and encourage them to bring their families to the club to enjoy this years’ calendar of events.

See you at the club.

4 ON DECK – July/August 2013


Ever been to a Sail Past?The Sail Past is the flagship event of the BMYS calendar. There are many activities to celebrate the launch of the Boating Season. Here is a recent testimonial from member that may answer some of the questions you may have about the BMYS Sail Past.

If you haven’t ever been, I once felt as you do – what’s it about? What do you do? What does decorate your boat mean? Can the kids come? Is my boat too big, too small, too daggy etc? What if it’s too crowded? What if I don’t know anyone?

Well, one year our family took the plunge and went, and haven’t missed a year since. The kids are now adults and still come (and their partners come too)!

We have had years where we have put in a huge effort with boat decorations, and others where we haven’t had much time – one year no decorations at all – but we went all the same and had a ball.

Our boat has been transformed into HMS Penzance, a floating tribute to the Irish roots of Paul Morgan, the MCG, a Pacific Island and more. On our first Sail Past, we didn’t know what to expect...several Sail Pasts later, we still don’t. The experience is different every time, but fabulous fun is the theme of all.

Decorating your boat can be simple (balloons and streamers

are definitely ok), or elaborate. It is perfectly okay to launch early, anchor and decorate your boat on the water, or arrive with a decorated boat.

Boats tie up to the pier first – there are always people on the pier to help with ropes. Boats also raft up with each other – again everyone helps and no one is left to struggle alone. There is a ceremony on the pier – this is to open the boating season and to bless our fleet.

Once the ceremony is over, a lead boat leaves the pier and the rest of the boats follow closely in convoy over a short course, going past the end of the pier (that’s why it’s called Sail Past!) to salute the official party. Then off to the boat ramp, then to lunch.

Maybe that sounds fairly tame? Maybe. On our first Sail Past we tied up next to a boat load of pirates. Looked like retirees....but they were into it! Our kids were transfixed with them. They were hilarious - the term ‘growing old disgracefully’ must have been invented for them.

Most boats have morning tea on board – we found out that it’s perfectly alright to open champagne at 10am if you feel like it...and if you don’t, that’s ok too. It’s also ok to hop off your boat and stretch your legs, go to the club rooms, visit other boats, take photos, chat and get involved in whatever is going

on...and believe me there is always something going on!

The convoy is a wonderful experience. I never tire of it – being in a long line of boats is so exciting (and if the gulls happen to be diving, throwing in a silver wobbler has been known to happen!)

The official salute at the officials at the end of the pier is always a highlight. Three rousing cheers are encouraged – and a toast – but there are also air horns, water pistols, even a deck hose or two!

And for those competitive...there are prizes. One year our daughter was almost solely responsible for the boat decorations, and we (she!) won a colour television.

This year, a huge effort has gone into ensuring that a maximum number of boats can join the Sail Past. There will be extra parking, transport etc to allow everyone to join in. So come along and be a part of the festivities.


Boating Report - Brian Willis

With the onset of the winter weather it can be debated that there are increasing signs of wanting to get out on the water but not sure where to begin!As reported in the last edition of On Deck Keith Owen has stepped down as Boating Director. On behalf of the Boating Committee and Club members I would like to thank Keith for the contribution he has made as Boating Director. Keith has been ably supported by his wife Davina. Keith is to continue as member of the Boating Committee.

Ricketts Point NavRallyHuey provided great weather with a south westerly breeze of 8 knots for this event conducted on 5th May. Thirteen boats and crews took part with visitors from RMVYS, Sandringham and Mordialloc Clubs. BMYS boats filled the first two places with John and Anita Giuliano in ‘Black Dolphin’ taking out overall first place. Peter Christie and navigator

Chris Shattock in ‘Namu’ were successful in 2nd place and Owen Smart and navigator Erin Smart in ‘Pookanah’ (RMVYS) took out 3rd place.

Skipper Stuart Bloomfield and navigator Tony Holt on ‘Escape Velocity’ from BMYS were first time starters in a NavRally and congratulations to them on a creditable performance. They received an Encouragement Award.

Brendan O’Donoghue and Roger Hartley from the Boating Committee were responsible for setting up this successful event and their efforts are greatly appreciated.

Western Port Cruise and Lunch On Sunday 2 June we had planned a cruise on Western Port Bay with our ultimate destination being Yaringa Marina Restaurant which is nestled on the shores of Watson Inlet at the very northern end of Western Port Bay. The weather forecast for the morning of the event was not good for boating and we proceeded by road to the restaurant.

On arrival at Yaringa the bar was open and the fire place nice and warm.

We enjoyed a great lunch at the restaurant. Prizes were on offer for those displaying good knowledge in the ‘Yaringa Quiz’. Winners of a nice bottle of red each were Richard Crossland, Chris Ryan and Roger Hartley.

Western Port offers some great boating opportunities but the lack of suitable floating moorings limits where we can berth.

Early Reminder Sail Past and Open Day 13 OctoberThe theme for this year’s Sail

Past and Open Day is – My Favourite Family Movie. Dress your boat and your crew or BOTH to represent this year’s theme. This is one of the biggest days on the club’s calendar. Have your boat and crew on the water at the club by 9.00am. There are great prizes on offer and this is always a fun day for skippers and families and all attending. Please register with the club for lunch as bookings for lunch are essential.

Upcoming EventsAt the time of going to press we have a number of activities on the Boating Committee program.

Please note on Sunday 22nd September we plan to conduct a practical session on Boat Docking, Trailer Backing and Boat Recovery. A similar event conducted in February this year was most successful. This is an opportunity for you to learn how to reverse your vehicle and handle your boat like a pro or better still have your partner able to do this! Bookmark the date and further details will be advised.

Also please see the flyers on the Club website advertising details of the Club’s Flare Safety Night (Thursday 5 September) and Fire safety Night (Thursday 3 October).

We will be advising further details about the planned VHF Radio Course to be run in November. If you would like to obtain a Marine Radio Operators VHF Certificate of Proficiency then this is the course for you. You need this certificate to operate a marine VHF radio.

We hope to see you out on the water soon, Safe Boating- BMYS Boating Committee

Western Port Cruise and Lunch


- with Ian Jones

Members have experienced typical Port Phillip winter fishing in the last few weeks. Pinkie snapper, salmon, squid and small catches of flathead have kept members busy in the morning and evening cold conditions. Alby Thomas, Barry Stewart and Brian Willis have had the odd trip to Westernport for small numbers of whiting and leatherjackets. Toadies in plague proportions have forced members to sometimes have 20 or more anchor drops per day.

Paul Irvine GFAV recorder, who lives at Crib Point, affirms that locals who fish the various shallow banks off French Island get bag limits of quality whiting during the night. (Hypothermia could be a problem!) Pier anglers have had regular excitement with several snapper over 5 kg being landed as well as seven-gill sharks to 2.2 metres. Good to hear almost 100% of seven-gills being released as it is understood they are pretty ordinary table fare.

Dozens of small mulloway have been taken at Patterson Lakes and river on hard bodied lures, plastics and where possible, live bait. Over the next few weeks we should see small whiting turn up near the Scout Shed and the 6 metre line off Ricketts.

The footpath inside the wall from Fourth Street to near the clock tower has been the site of excellent catches of squid in the late afternoon. Wise anglers fish where the ink is thickest on the

path and use small very dark jigs.

There are probably less wind warnings and calmer seas in the winter and good numbers of trailers have been seen in the car park. Seals continue to plague winter anglers with no solution in sight.

Members in the News Neil Coxon and Steve Church had a great barramundi trip to Queensland. They fished a river where huge numbers of barra were swept downstream from a flooded dam during the record floods.

Max Trist, Bob Reynolds, Russel Jones Tony Upfold and Richard Crossland and three other non member friends fished the Roper River for just under a thousand barramundi caught and released. (Five over 1 metre)

Ross Moore with various members as crew has had a great time in the South West with blue fin, albacore and the occasional mako. His new boat Poolshark is set up beautifully for ocean angling.

Quiet achiever Brian Wright who serves the club as VR Fish representative always launches at the Southern ramp. Seldom returns without a feed of quality fish. His tinny must be one of the oldest around that still serves its owner well.

Marine Park – WARNING Have we become complacent about the boundaries of the park? Remember that 100% of boats fishing in the park have their numbers logged by at least three Beach Road residents and sent periodically to Fisheries.

New Products Daiwa has marketed a top of the

range interline squid rod which is attracting a lot of interest. Emerelde is its trade name.

The latest Stella range from Shimano is really something. It’s the Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Lamborghini of spinning reels. A few members already “drive” one.

An extendable squid gaff is available. It collapses to 60 cm and extends to over 3 metres. Ideal for land based squidding and it’s under $30.

Fishing Spot – Aquarium Rock Around 400 metres North of the Marine park boundary is a green post. Just South of this post is Aquarium Rock which used to be one of the best spear fishing sites on the Eastern side of the bay. The fishing here has deteriorated over the years probably because of drains entering the bay nearby. However the whiting fishing on the outside and inside the rock in 17 to 21 feet can be quite spectacular. Some three years ago limits of whiting were caught here in the middle of August on pilchard fillets. It’s easy to find with a good sounder and well worth a try now and again.

Fishing Ideas Sabiki multi hook slimy and yacka rigs always tangle and hooks often find their way into fingers. Reduce their number of hooks to two which is the legal number anyway and the problem is solved.

Jammed anchors are common if fishing reef areas. The best way of freeing an anchor is to let out lot of rope, tie it off tightly on the bow and motor at right angles keeping the rope taut on the starboard side. It may

Fishing - with Ian Jones


be necessary to do a complete circle once or twice before it can free. Make sure the rope doesn’t foul the prop.

Do We Know Our Flathead? Some 14 species of the 30 or so known species of flathead are found in Southern waters. In Victoria members can expect to encounter mainly dusky flathead from the Prom to the NSW border, Tiger flathead in deeper ocean water (very occasionally local bays), rock flathead, southern sand flathead and southern blue spot flathead.

Duskies grow to well over a metre and are identified by a large black spot on the tail. Tigers have bright reddish orange spots on the head and body. Rock flathead have a rounded body almost jet black with yellow around the mouth and belly. (They are coloured like a black snake). Sandy flathead (sandies, frogs, channel rats) were the most common fish in local waters but are in serious decline. The

southern blue spot is identified by the white to blue spots on the head and body. (It is also known as yank or long nose).

All flathead are amongst the most highly sought after as table fare and fetch a high price. Duskies are subject to special regulations because of the vast number taken on soft plastics and other lures.

Now is the Time! The snapper season is fast approaching. Now is time to prepare gear and determine strategies.

Rods – Check runners for cracks and replace if necessary

Reels – Re-spool with new line and service either professionally or according to the manuals.

Bait – Lay in a stock of squid and garfish while they are prevalent.

Hooks – Check for rust. Also consider changing to circle hooks which almost 100% of top anglers agree are far better than

J hooks. Hook ups will increase and fish are released more easily.

Regulations - Beware of bag limits and rules governing bag limits, number of rods, high grading and double dipping (trippers). All tackle shops carry the latest free book of fishing regulations.

Strategies – Check diaries to decide where you are going to fish in the first few weeks. Listen to radio programs and follow on the reports. An hour or so research can put us among the early seasons run of big snapper.

Determine whether you are going to join the trend to plastics, snatchers and hard bodies. Some new purchases may be necessary.

We can expect early fish in September around and on the outside of local reefs and structures such as the Wedding Ring.

Best wishes for a great early season from your Fishing Committee.

Chasing the Wild BarraSix days on the BoyneNeil and I arrived at Tannum Sands on Saturday 20th April. Tannum Sands is 25 km South of Gladstone Queensland and an easy drive up the Newel highway. We booked in at the local caravan park, set up camp and then hit the river for our first fish. We had a couple of GPS marks that Neil received from his mate Rob Woods who is the publican at the Gin Gin hotel. Rob is a wealth of information on where the fish have been biting. So if you’re ever up that way and Rob isn’t fishing I’m sure he will give you a heads up about what’s happening.

After casting, casting and casting for a couple of hours we had one 1.5kg GT. No giant by any means but it was a start. Later back at the ramp we talked to a few locals who hooked to barra only 900 metres further up stream. After some additional directions we had a plan for tomorrow.

After arriving near the spot the next morning, we were confronted with a series of rock bars and shallow channels. After a few attempts and grounding the leg of the Yammy, we decided to start casting with no luck. Then appeared a couple of more locals Peter and Prue who after a quick chat kindly offered to guide us through the channel, which was only two metres at its deepest point. Amazing what a bit of local knowledge can do. Within ten minutes we caught a couple of 2kg Tarpon which were good warm up. The next eight fish were all barra, ranging from

700 to 800mm. I just caught my first barra and I was gob smacked to say the least. What a huge thrill. We were finally on a roll and caught another nine fish the next day, all around the same size.

The following day was a struggle with about a dozen hook ups and not one in the boat. I was beginning to think we were a couple of duds ! Later that day we again chatted to more locals who suggested trying Gold Poltergeist deep diving lures, renowned for catching big Murray Cod.

After casting traditional lures for the first hour, we decided to throw out the Poltergeist lures on a slow trawl up river. Neil had the gold lure, I had the green lure. Neil had five fish in the boat straight away and I still couldn’t hook up. As the sun rose higher my green lure starting firing and by the end of the day, we had 15 barra between us again all in the 700 to 800mm range.

A quick trip to TackleWorld in Gladstone to pick up their last two Gold Poltergeist lures then back to the river to try our luck. We caught another eight including a monster that measured 1007mm.

Our last day on the river resulted in another seven barra, two caught on casting lures, five on trolling lures.

Our final tally for the week was 47, all released except one that the lady in the caravan next door offered to bake for dinner.

It was an outstanding trip, better than we could have expected. We fished other places on the

way home and caught some nice fish, but nothing like the fishing at Tannum Sands.

There are plenty of great fishing spots around Tannum that we will try on our next trip. If you ever get the chance to head up North chasing barra, make sure you do your research and take the right gear. The information we received from the locals on where the fish were biting and their tip on the Gold Poltergeist lures would have been great from day one. - Neil and Steve.

Catch of the week!


Tim Hipkin – Fishing Director Birthplace: Camberwell, Victoria: I grew up in Diamond Creek. A wonderful time in my life and moved to Macleod for secondary school.

I had a pet: I had many pets’ especially stray dogs I seemed to attract them much to my mother’s despair. Marmaduke my bantam rooster was special as well as Phoebe, Honey and Petunia our three goats that I had to milk before school.

The schools I attended were: Diamond Creek state school, Macleod High school, Footscray Tech and RMIT.

At school I was always getting into trouble for: Looking out the window and daydreaming as well as getting into mischief.

My fondest childhood memory is: School holidays fishing in the creek for blackfish and red fin and trips to Sorrento fishing off the pier with my Grandfather.

The sports I loved to play: Loved playing football and cricket with my schools. I played with Macleod cricket club in a more

formal environment and played basketball and table tennis in my late teens and twenties.

My greatest sporting achievement was: Kicking the only goal for our primary school team in a grandfinal against Plenty PS, and taking 7-21 against Beaumaris (Gary Odgers ex Saint) In Moorabbin Cricket Club’s Sub District Thirds.

The AFL team I support: Melbourne (I think they are still in the competition). I had no choice my childhood Doctor – Donald Cordner – was a club legend.

My career: I began my working life as an apprentice carpenter and joiner in the Victorian Railways at the same time studying at RMIT a diploma of building construction. I completed my apprenticeship in 1968 and worked for a large construction company as a foreman/supervisor till 1976. I started a company called T & M Hipkin Pty Ltd and carried out many projects in the bayside area. In 1989 commenced an association with family members and created a new company called Kintek Properties Pty Ltd. This company carried out property development projects manly in the Cheltenham area. I retired from building in 2008 and now run an Angus cattle stud at Main Ridge and run commercial Angus in West Gippsland. I also grow saffron at Main Ridge.

My favorite holiday places are: Too numerous to mention but wherever I can fish or be near water is good. I love travelling overseas and exploring new countries.

While on holidays I like to read: I don’t have time to read whilst

travelling but do enjoy reading historical biographies or books with animal references, seafaring stories and fisho mags.

I enjoy a nice glass of: Cab Sav or Pinot with a meal. Love a Guinness on a Friday night at the club and enjoy a cider on a hot day.

My favorite meal is: Roast forequarter of Dorper lamb slow cooked, any seafood and vanilla slices from Tooradin bakery.

My first car was a: Morris mini that was always breaking down probably because of the expectations I had for it as a young bloke doing things it wasn’t designed to do.

Most admired male: With out doubt my Grandfather who taught me many things during my formative years. He ran two butcher shops and an abattoir where I learnt to process sheep, make sausages, cut firewood and perhaps the most onerous job to shoot crows with a single shot rifle for 2 shillings per crow (they ruined his sheep hides). He took me to cricket and football and kept me supplied with footballs and cricket bats, taught me how to make great bows and arrows and Shanghai’s and bought me bags of crackers on cracker night. Above all he was an honest man with a great work ethic.

Most admired female: My wife – she has put up with me for too many years to mention.

My most embarrassing moment was: Introducing the Mayor of Kingston as his eminence in front of Jeff Kennett at a Fundraising function when I was President of a local Rotary Club

My favorite book is: Mrs. Beaton’s

The five people I would invite to a dinner party are: Nigella Lawson I just love her cooking methods. Zane Grey for catching a 1000lb marlin in 1928 and fishing an average of 300 days a year. Wandjuk Marika OBE a most influential aboriginal painter, actor and composer and senior elder of the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land where I am an initiated family member. Matthew Flinders a great seafarer and adventurer. And Diana The Princess of Wales.

My favorite music is: Country & Western, The Beatles and most classical.

The biggest fish I have ever caught was: Striped Marlin at

Bermagui of approx. 150Kgs, (just a bit heavier than Macca’s) however I was assisted during the capture due to a harness failure.

My secret fishing spot is: Now out of bounds at the quarantine station in Port Philip Bay.

What really annoys me about the world is: How religion and man’s greed has caused so many wars and ill feeling between nations and ethnic groups.

The one talent I wish I had is: Being able to dance and remember the words of songs

My greatest weaknesses are: A good red wine, any seafood, Chocolates and fishing tackle shops

My fifteen minutes of fame was when: Being televised when Max Trist invited me to take the microphone at a rally on the steps of Parliament House to ban scallop dredging in Port Philip Bay

prior to Rex Hunt giving his rousing speech.

Once I sit down at night my favorite TV programs are: Landline on Sundays and American Pickers just to prove that other people keep more junk than me.

Whilst sitting in my boat I often contemplate why ---: I don’t spend more time out fishing.

For as long as I live I never again want to: Employ a lawyer

What I really love about BMYS is: How good its location is out of the public gaze

My future visions for BMYS are: To see a club continue along the path it has taken for the past 50 years providing an enjoyable environment for its members. This may encompass change and development of the club as has happened since its inception.

Meet a member My Name: Wan Jo

My Story: (Family, Live, Work, Interests, Years of Membership etc)

• Keen outdoorsman.

• Grew up in Borneo. Best memories

growing up fishing for steelheads, eels and fresh water crayfish armed with a cane rod, homemade wooden reel and an air rifle called Ben.

• Married to Naheed. 2 children – Brandon (17) and Jecinta (7). Both ladies enjoy the outdoors (with a bit of encouragement). Brandon enjoys the virtual world from the comfort of his arm chair.

• Live in Narre Warren North (often confused with Nar-Nar Goon) and it’s only 30 minutes away from the club (even less on a motor-bike).

• Joined the club in 2012. Currently a member of boating committee.

• Current boat - A Whittley cruiser. A surprisingly versatile boat that offers a 5 star accommodation, fine dining as well as a stable fishing platform. Contrary to popular beliefs, it is not a ‘ladies boat’ or ‘bakery barge’ but

certainly helps to persuade the less adventurous ladies on board for a cruise and breakfast.

Why I joined the BMYS:•The club offers a variety of social, boating and fishing activities for members and their families which confirms the positive reports from some of our good friends who are long term members of the club.

What I enjoy most at the BMYS:• The relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the club.

• Also, still enjoying all the beauty products won by Naheed from the club fishing competitions. It seems to last her a lifetime.

My favourite club/boating/fishing story:• Lost the boat after diving for lobsters in Rockingham (Western Australia). Rescued after floating for 15 minutes (which seemed like an eternity).

Hope you are all enjoying our Melbourne winter. It won’t be long before the spring arrives, and we will all be out back on the water. In the meantime, take advantage of our great club rooms, and its facilities. A great way to spend a Friday night is to come down to the club for the member’s draw, meat raffle, a meal at the restaurant, or watch the footy downstairs by the fire.

SUPER DRAWSuper Draw is running during the winter months. Jackpots will start at $500 for the member’s draw instead of the usual $250.

The Parma nights have been well attended. It’s pleasing to see, and we hope it continues to be supported by our members. Parma nights are held the third Thursday of every month.

MELBEATS SHOWA tribute show to the Beatles was held on the 15th June. It was well

supported by our members and their friends and families. Some of the crowd dressed in 60’s gear and they looked fabulous. Congratulations to the winners of best dressed, Gary Viner, and his wife Val.

A great place for the family to watch that one day in September. Prizes to be won for picking the winning team and margin, the first goal kicked and the Norm Smith medallist. The children’s hand ball competition will be held at half time with wonderful prizes on offer.

5th OCTOBER - LEGENDS NIGHT BY MARK ANDREWSAfter a two year absence Mark Andrews is coming back to BMYS to perform his Legends Show. This is a great evening and you should not miss it. More details to follow, but pencil this date into your social calendar.

ambience for young ones, who will be able to amuse themselves, leaving you, time to watch the races on the big screen.You will receive a glass of champagne on arrival. There will be sweeps throughout the day and prizes to win for best dressed.Our social committee work hard to put on several functions throughout the year. Your attendance is our greatest reward.Cheers, John Bacon

I was very lucky to be part of the team of Australian gardeners that for the first time ever, won top honours at the world’s most prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show. For the uninitiated, Chelsea is like the Olympics of the landscaping world.

The famous garden show has been held every year in London since 1931, and transforms the 11 acre grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea into a floral wonderland. At the business end, the world’s leading horticulturalists present real life show gardens to compete for the coveted Best in Show prize.

For the ninth time, Fleming’s Nurseries presented the Trailfinders Australian Garden, and I was privileged to be involved in the whole process, along with my business partner, David Pontifex, representing our building company, Atkinson Pontifex.

This year, our garden was not only awarded Best Show Garden, but also won a coveted gold medal. It’s a particular sweet victory for Wes Fleming, the founder of Fleming’s Nurseries, as it’s his last year presenting a show garden.

The garden design was by landscaper Phillip Johnson, of

Phillip Johnson Landscapes, while we oversaw the garden’s building and carpentry works.

Complete with a stone gorge, running waterfalls and a billabong, it reflected an Australian aesthetic, along with a transparent, 3 cubic metres, perspex studio encased with timber ‘petals’ inspired by a waratah flower. It was designed by Melbourne-based Studio 505 and built specifically for the Queen’s height, who typically visits each garden during the event.

The finished design took seventeen days and over 3,500 man hours to build, with a team of seventeen to transform what once resembled a bare soccer pitch into a sustainable garden retreat.

We began planning in November last year. With painstaking work that required absolute precision, our team manufactured the aluminium frame, assembled the structure’s walls and petals, and packed it along with all the materials required for the garden, into two shipping containers bound for London. Once arriving, the team also built a boardwalk, sunset platform that cantilevered out over the water, and the studio, supported by steel poles and a

metal spiral staircase.

We were under incredible pressure to unpack and deliver the garden on time, but we worked thirteen hour days to set it up and meet the deadline. With nothing on our minds except securing the elusive top honours, we were hopeful the judges were smiling when they headed over to us to deliver the verdict.

We were all absolutely delighted with the outcome! It was a fantastic day for Australian horticulture and design and to also walk away as the best in the world at what we do. We think it’s pretty amazing that a world winning design was built from our local factory in Cheltenham!

While it’s the fourth time now we’ve been involved in building Australia’s entry for the show, this time was extra special. I believe that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things, and it’s wonderful to represent your country and come home with the best prize of all.

Plus we also had a brush with fame - we got to meet Prince Harry! What a nice guy.

Smart Looking Loo’s As you know, our upstairs toilets have long required a complete make-over to bring them up to an acceptable standard for both members and guests. I am pleased to advise that BMYS member and builder Bill Joughin has now completed a very successful renovation on both the Ladies and Men’s toilets. The new facilities are a real treat particularly as we did it on a tight budget. We have achieved a full make-over complete with new vanities, basins, toilets, fresh tiling, stainless steel paper towel dispensers, electric hand-dryers and new ceilings with LED down lights.

Fellow Club member Steve Lopes who runs Paint Spot Bentleigh provided (at his own cost) two painters for two days to complete a totally professional job. Steve deserves the full

support of members as he is a regular advertiser in On Deck and certainly supports the club. If you are looking for painting supplies or want a professional paint job done, give Steve a ring.

Thanks to Bill and Steve for a fantastic professional job.

Repairs to fenders on No 1 completedOn Sunday the 16th June, the Site Committee, held a mini working bee to complete the repairs to four damaged timber fenders on the No.1 jetty. We had previously repaired two of the four fenders at the club working bee in April before we ran out of time. We have now replaced the original timbers posts with reconstituted plastic sections that will probably see most of us out.

In order to keep repair costs to a minimum, we opted to do the job ourselves rather than let the job to a professional marine repairer who would no doubt have required a pile driver to complete the operation. After considerable discussion we opted for a Jack Emmins design. You probably know Jack from his very successful Nav rallying exploits. Jack, a former Chief Engineer with the Victoria Railways had previously used what he calls a “tremmie pipe” to repair bridge pilings. The method involves the use of a 600mm diameter x 1000mm long steel sleeve fitted around the base of each post. Once the sleeve is fitted, the fender is bolted to the jetty and then the sleeve (below waterline) is filled via a 100mm PVC tube with concrete mixed on the jetty. To maximise the concrete placement, the sleeve is lifted slightly to allow some concrete to mushroom out below

the sleeve increasing the strength of the job.

Apart from Jack, the team working on this project included committee members Rob Dalla Via, David Bell, Dean Atkinson, Rodney Savage and myself. I drew the short straw and spent a few hours in water, around 10 to 11 degrees Celsius checking the underwater work. Thankfully the wetsuit was one I purchased around twenty years ago when I was at least 5kg lighter and being so tight, it let very little cold water in. Thanks to all who helped with this project.

Garden renovation During our mini working bee on the 16th June, committee members Frank Antolas and Bruce Hodgkins completed the replanting of the garden between the main and ramp gates. Hopefully when Spring arrives, all our gardens will be looking a real treat.

Who was the wag?Those of you who have visited the club recently will have noticed the huge pile of new timbers stored down the back between the fish clean area and the site sheds. When asked what these were for, one well known yard personality jokingly commented they were for the start of our new clubhouse. (Good one Eh?)

This caused quite some concern until it was pointed out that the club had allowed the council contractor building the bike path between the top of BMYS driveway and Charman Road to store their construction timbers in our secure compound.

Meet a member My Name is: Peter O’Leary

I am a self- employed Town Planner and mediator having worked for 20 years in local government , including Sandringham City Council (I processed the permit application to extend the BMYS club building in the early 1980’s) , over 11 years as a VCAT Member and about 8 years in private practice.

I grew up in Carnegie and went to school at Caulfield Tech and Murrumbeena High and then studied

Town Planning part time at RMIT. I moved to Beaumaris with my lovely wife Tricia in 1997. I bought a boat in 1999 and I joined the club in 2000. I often bring my children Zoe and Jaymes along to the club because they love the family atmosphere and they are embraced cheerily by the members.

Last year I decided to join the Social Committee without really knowing much about it. The committee, led by John Bacon, is made up of friendly people who quickly welcomed me and helped me learn the ropes, whilst also having a good time. We meet monthly and organise the meat and members raffles and various social events including Mother’s Day, Father’s day, Day on the Green, Children’s Christmas Party, Christmas Function, New Year’s Eve, Grand Final and Melbourne Cup day events.

Since joining the Committee and participating in various club events I have made new friends and caught up with old friends. I find helping to run the Meat and Members draw raffles introduces me to a greater number of club members. It also

provides opportunity to attend a greater number of club events and this in turn has helped to improve my fishing and boating skills, whilst having a lot of fun along the way. I have enjoyed various club functions and I see the great effort the Board and various committees provide to this great club. I think the most enjoyable was helping at the Commodores’ Sail Past last year.

What would I like to see at the club: New clubrooms to provide improved function and training facilities and boat/ safety related training courses.

Favourite Fishing story: Fishing in the middle of the bay by myself when my old favourite reel stuffed- up and I couldn’t wind the line in. Then I got a run, the fish just kept on running, with no ability to use the reel, let alone any drag until the entire line ran out and I was overreaching out the back of the boat, fortunately the knot on the reel held! I then had to pull the line in by hand for a nice 2 kg snapper. Not the biggest but certainly a great reward. Suffice to say I went down to Southern Fishing and bought a new reel!
