Good
news for South island spearos!. We are setting up a South Island spearfishing
and free diving club to bring the many groups of mainland spearos together. The
club will share free diving and spearfishing techniques and information
specific to our waters, plus run training sessions and arrange events and
competitions. Our inaugural meeting will be at the chch rugby football club
rooms (in the squash complex (rear building not the main building)) at 250
Westminster St on Friday June 9th from 7.30pm. The bar will be open and we
encourage all spearos reading this to bring 5 or more of their spearo buddies.
Fyi our committee is Hamish McMillan (swam 125m underwater at last year's pool
free diving nationals), Brad Warr (of canterbury spearfishing supplies), Lee
Dobson (Blenheim based and co-organiser of the 2018 south island spearfishing comp), Sam Murray (organising the SI champs with Lee), Philip Van Zijl (Oamaru based and representing the southern folks), and myself
Ian Barker (organiser of barkers grand slam spearfishing tournament for the
last 20 years). We are eager to involve as wide a gathering of mainland spearos
as possible so please encourage your mates to get involved.
