PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT 2012 

Welcome to the 2013 AGM 

It is hard to believe that my first year as President is almost done and I am pleased to confirm that 

your club is still in great shape. 

With a couple of projects already executed and a few more in the pipeline for this year, 2013 

bodes well for us to continue in the right direction. 

Having spent two weeks at the Club over Christmas and New Year and the opportunity to get 

out on the lake, I am convinced the coming season will see the fishing on the up and up. The 

condition of the fish and the numbers of fish caught over the Xmas holidays has certainly been an 

improvement on last summer’s fishing. 

Didymo has, so far as we know, not reached the North Island. I urge you to remain alert and 

continue to be aware that it is always a possibility. I was at the Te Kaanu boat ramp in January 

and noticed a boat trailer covered in lake-weed. The weed was really dry and plenty of it. The 

trailer was parked directly beside the sign asking that trailers be washed down and directly beside 

the hose designated to for cleaning boats and trailers. My fishing buddy left an appropriate note. 

Please be active in taking care in cleaning your gear and encourage your mates to do the same. 

I take this opportunity to thank the committee on behalf of all our members for the efforts they 

make to see that the club runs efficiently. I extend my personal thanks for the support I have 

received during my first term in the “chair”. 

Special thanks , as always, to Mary for the continued outstanding work she does in not only 

managing the club’s day to day business, bookings, managing the housekeeping and the so many 

other things she does but also managing you, our members . How many times have you gone 

home and forgotten something or had a last minute cancellation, the list goes on. Thank you Mary. 

I also extend my personal thanks to our club members who when seeing a job needs doing, just 

get on with it and do it. You know who you are and your thoughtfulness contributes to making the 

club a great place to be. 

John Billing, your continued support and the assistance and advice you give Mary is sincerely 

appreciated. Thank You. 

Helen , what would we do without you? The drawers are always filled with not only clean tea 

towels but so nicely ironed. Thank You. We also thank you for tolerating the number of times 

Jimmy “pops over for a few minutes” to deliver the weather forecast and is often late home for 

dinner. Thank you both for all you do for us. 

The News Letter just does not happen all by itself. John Morgan thank you for making our club 

newsletter look so good. 

Be assured your club is sound and in a great financial position and I have no doubt will continue to 

be the wonderful place that you enjoy today. 

I wish you the very best for an enjoyable 2013 fishing season. 

Marion Hall 

President (February 2013)

OBITUARY 

Mack Butts 

8 September 1925 – 30 December 2012 

Joined TALTAC 1965 

Appointed Honorary Auditor 1998: Honorary Reviewer 2000 

Made an Honorary Life Member 2011 

Thomas McDougall Drury Butts was born in Wellington. Four years 

later, after his father retired, the family moved to Jersey in the Channel 

Islands. It was there that he began a lifelong commitment to sport, 

playing soccer and athletics at both of which from an early age he 

began to excel. He also started to fish, for sprats off the wharf. 

The family returned to Auckland in 1936 and the next year Mack 

started at Auckland Grammar School where he played soccer for the 

school in all age groups and for his club, Metro College. From 1938 he 

won the school steeplechase for his age group every year until he left. 

In the summers Mack played tennis at Royal Oak and later Eden & 

Epsom tennis clubs and while still a teenager became secretary of the 

latter. Throughout Mack’s life there is a theme of commitment to the 

welfare of the organisations to which he belonged as he took on roles 

to contribute. The presidencies of Rotary and Probus are just two examples. 

After qualifying as an accountant in 1944 Mack volunteered to join the RNZAF and trained to become a pilot 

spending the last years of the war at Whenuapai Air Base. With the war over he returned to accounting and his 

first love, soccer. In 1947 he was selected to play for Auckland, the team won the Chatham Cup in 1950; he was 

made captain in 1951. Simultaneously he was selected to captain the New Zealand team and they beat Victoria, 

Australia at the Basin Reserve. 

In 1950 Mack married Val and soon their growing family, eventually of four daughters, Sarah, Deborah, Rebecca 

and Charlotte, caused sport to share life with family but tennis, harriers and soccer continued to play their part. 

In 1953 the family moved from Kohimarama to Cambridge where Mack set up an accounting partnership. There 

he played soccer and tennis and took up golf in which he soon had a single figure handicap. 

In 1955 they returned to Auckland to further the girls’ education. Mack went into partnership in Titirangi where 

the family settled and he found squash, a game he could play in his lunch hour! The family joined the Titirangi 

Tennis Club. 

It was at this time that Mack became keen on trout fishing. Val and the girls loved skiing but the call of the rivers 

was too strong and he fished sometimes alone but more often with friends or his daughters. On one occasion 

he and Rebecca spent a cold winter’s night in a station wagon by the Tongariro River and early the next morning 

pulled themselves across the river on the frozen rope of the Red Hut Pool flying fox. At TALTAC he and Brad 

Lambert became friends and would team up for a day’ fishing. Mack claimed not to be a great angler but loved 

the sport for the number of beautiful parts of New Zealand that it took him to, the friends that he met and the 

anticipated thrill of hooking and playing a good fish. 

Sadly Mack and Val couldn’t make it together and eventually divorced. Some years later he met and married 

June who also had her own family. They were to have thirty-eight very happy and harmonious years together in 

their idyllic home in Epsom. They went on many holidays in campervans, caravans and touring with a tent and 

were sometimes joined by their children and grandchildren. Family members would join Mack at TALTAC and he 

has been instrumental in introducing a number of them and other young people to the sport. 

Never slow to shoulder a burden for others Mack agreed to become honorary auditor for TALTAC, for legal 

reasons the title was later changed to reviewer. Mary Nisbet and John Billings can vouch for his meticulous 

attention to detail, (Mack called it pedantic but he was alone in that). Twice every January he would come to 

TALTAC to run through the accounts. Mary especially felt the benefit of his knowledge and expertise. Eventually 

the three of them had the accounts so well organised that the visits were reduced to one and then none as they 

were checked and approved by email. 

A committed family man, an avid and talented sportsman, Mack contributed much to many people and 

organisations; he ran a fine race.
