The Lorne Aquatic Club has for what
seems forever enjoyed a prime location close to the pier. It's
always conveyed the impression, at least to me, as being a
pseudo-private retreat. And it's never been apparent to me what the the members of the club actually do, apart from socialising and enjoying their view!
However, this year, a “Save our Club”
banner has appeared on its walls. And there's now a sign at the
entrance, which includes the words “Visitors Welcome”. And I
spotted a courtesy bus (apparently owned by the local council).
I have no idea of what might be going on here, but the thought crossed
my mind that it's interesting to observe that a challenge sometimes promotes
change!
The proposed plan for the redevelopment of Point Grey proposes that the Acquatic and Anglers Club, the Fishing Co-Op and the Restaurant all be combined in one building.
ReplyDeleteThe Acquatic and Anglers Club obviously has a very active membership as it is able to open daily (6 days per week in winter) without pokie machines.
