You may be surprised that on occasion experts arrive and teach people (sorry, members) things that improve their sport.
The other thing is that we're all members and it's lekker to sometimes meet the face behind the nickname.
No one I know that attends actually sets up at the dam to fish.
Guys test new equipment, chat, eat and have a few dops.
That's why it's called a "social".
