About the Osterville Angler’s Club
Manager’s Corner
It's just amazing how quickly our lives have changed. Last month at this time the club was a beehive of activity and planning for the 2020 season. The Tournament Committee discussing ideas how to run tournaments and keep within the new state guidelines. The Youth Committee (now a re-energized group of ten) planning a fun-filled spring, summer & autumn.
Then along came Covid 19. So far only one event has been cancelled (see the schedule below), but stay tuned for additional announcements.
The clubhouse remains closed and off limits until April 7th.
In the meantime, stay healthy and safe. Who knows, during this "down time" we just might come up with a few brilliant ideas!
