Lorne Aquatic & Angling Club is a popular sports club located in the idyllic coastal town of Lorne, Australia. The club serves as a gathering place for enthusiastic anglers and 'angling enthusiasts' who share a passion for fishing, enjoying the scenic coastline, and relaxing in a friendly atmosphere.
The club keeps its members updated through regular posts on their Facebook page and monthly Commodores Notes. These updates provide the latest news, updates on events, and important announcements. Members are encouraged to join the Facebook group and keep an eye out for the Commodore's Notes to stay informed.
The club's bar operates from 3 pm to 9 pm daily, offering a variety of beverages to accompany the friendly conversations and stories about the size of the catch. It's the perfect place to unwind after a day out on the water.
The club hosts an annual fishing competition, with the 2023 edition recently completed and the dates for the 2024 competition soon to be announced. The 2023 competition was made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Great Ocean Road Real Estate and Bendigo Bank. The final scores of the competition are posted on the club's social media pages, showcasing the achievements of the participating anglers.
Lorne Aquatic & Angling Club also organises a winter fishing competition, providing members with additional opportunities to test their angling skills and compete for prizes. The final scores of the competition are shared with the community, highlighting the accomplishments of the participants.
In addition to fishing, the club aims to provide a variety of amenities and services for its members. Jason's Coffee at the Club is a popular service available from Friday to Monday, offering delicious coffee, tea, hot chocolates, and treats. Members can also make use of the club's courtesy bus, operating on Friday and Saturday evenings, with proceeds from gold coin donations going towards supporting the club's activities. The courtesy bus is sponsored by Live Wire Park.
