Bienvenu makes his mark in a year

By Len Le Page

The first big rod-caught turbot reported this year – Pieter Coetzer with his 18-12-5 fish which he hooked at Godine from Richard Keen’s Margaret K.

STAN BIENVENU, who had been in the club for only one year, stole the show at the Sarnia Specimen Club’s annual dinner and presentation night held at L’Eree Bay Hotel.

He won no fewer than six trophies, including the club championship, the shore championship and the best achievement award, two monthly awards and two specimen certificates from the South-West Federation of Sea Anglers.

The evening was compered by Alan Martel. He paid a special tribute to Barry Jacobs, who had once again worked tirelessly for the club during the previous year.
