24 January 2025
Publishers note
A much busier week due to the activity and announcements from Boot Düsseldorf, as well as a series of warnings in preparation for the Australia Day long weekend.
This is another one of the many busy weekends on our waterways and in turn for our industry. Best wishes to all for a fabulous Australia Day.
For those planning to enter the 2025 Marine of the Year Awards, now is the time to start. Awards bring significant recognition for both winners and finalists. For those considering entering, my advice is not to rush the process, read and clearly understand the criteria, and if you are not sure, seek professional guidance to help your entry.
I love a milestone, and this year will see Club Marine Magazine celebrate 40-years of publishing. Reflecting on my past days of buying media, I recall the power and success of the medium. Congratulations to the Club Marine team.
