We are limited to 205 members and the membership is able to provide virtually every aspect of the work that we need done, ie. Despite that we have many members who put in far in excess of their six days per year. Also, everyone is expected to pay a joining fee. This was to compensate for work done over the past twenty-nine years and tasks already completed and paid for by the present members, such as the bunk house, jetty, club house, toilets, and all the other equipment facilities and improvements we enjoy. This covers things such as land tax, rates, caretaker's salary, secretary's salary, petrol, oil, repairs etc, which all go with a project like this.
Children are our future members.
We are anxious to display that hunting is compatible with maintenance of the environment and all those things that we wish to retain. We are very proud of the fact that we have many more deer here now than before we came. In the beginning we suggest that there could have been twelve deer on the Island. We had an Honours Science Graduate from Monash University - Peter Taylor approached us in the early days with a wish to complete a PhD. thesis on hog deer. We were extremely pleased about this.
