New Member's
Training Day:
A BBQ breakfast was held at Entrance Point Launching Ramp followed by a
familiarisation and training trip on Redbill II. Whilst having breakfast
an Australian Frigate passed very close on its way into the port.
New Members
& Maintenance Day:
On Sunday we had an early start, albeit with a BBQ breakfast, to give
Redbill II a much needed run with some new members plus some maintenance
to the trailer.

Wet Season Warning:


New Home Base:
BVSRG is close to signing a lease on a block of land out at the Port of
Broome. Once signed we will be in a position to commission a two story
building that will be used for storage of boats and equipment, plus a
first floor radio room. This building will also contain a Galley and
room for social functions. The land and ground plans are illustrated
below.
Annual Award Night and
Presentation Dinner:
On this night we held the inaugural
Annual Award Night and Presentation Dinner.
The dinner was attended by
our volunteers with Paul Kimber (Regional Manager, VMR Services) representing FESA.
Paul
presented the mounted rib from the original Redbill lugger to
Brett Winfield (Redbill II's Bosun) that will be the prime
exhibit in the display to be housed in our future club house at
Broome Port.
