On The Postponement of the 2025 MBGFC Open Tournament
Your tournament committee has decided that the MBGFC Open
Tournament normally held in mid February will next year be postponed until
2026.
Next year’s fishing calendar has become congested with two new
tournaments scheduled that have not previously be held. The Trailer
Boat Tournament Feb 6-8th Waitangi weekend and the Centennial
Tournament 26th Feb to the 1st March.
The Open normally coincided with the NZ Nationals which has
also impacted on previous year’s entries . The Nationals will still go
ahead.
We appreciate that this decision may not suit all our anglers
but feel sure you will support our decision.
Longshore
Marine No Bait Competition
We’re gearing up for Longshore Marine No Bait Tournament 1st
to the 30th November . This is now a one month tournament so
there’s plenty of opportunity to get out and get amongst it!
We would like to thank our sponsors - Longshore Marine, Black
Magic Tackle, Catch Fishing, Hutchwilco, Ocean Angler, Shimano and So Dope.
Trailer
Boat Tournament
Entries are chugging along nicely for this tournament 6th
to the 8th February. Just like the Centennial, this tournament is
capped at 150 boats. Put your team together and get you entry in early!
Extreme
Boats Tournament - Volunteers Required
This year the Extreme Boat Tournament is back at the club from
the 28th – 30th November. 400 anglers are entered and
the food and beverage sales will be contribute significantly to our club.
We need a volunteer team to help the set up of the Blue
Lagoon. Meet 9am Saturday 23rd for a couple of hours. Morning tea
on us !

New Club Web Site
and Tournament Management Software Upgrade.
You will have received an email from us advising members of a
significant initiative that will upgrade both our website and our tournament
and data base management software. This has been in development for over two
years due to the current system becoming obsolete and unsupportable.
These projects are never easy and a special shout to Anne Smal
is appropriate given that she has spearheaded this project from the the get
go. Hours and hours have been committed to this project as a volunteer – big
thanks to you Anne.
On The Big Screen This Weekend
Not
much is happening on the sporting front this weekend and nothing significant
to show on the big screen. NPC has finished, Super Rugby is about to start,
and the All Blacks take on the Pom’s at Twikkers at 4.10am Sunday
morning.
The
one to watch will be to see if the Black Caps can win the 3rd test
in Mumbai and clean sweep the Indians 3 zip on their home soil. Match starts
at 5pm and if you’re a test cricket fan I’ll pop that one on the big
screen.
NB: Happy Hour jugs from 3.00pm
6.30pm this Saturday and Sunday
