Notice for all Great Swamp Fishermen
Every angler is required to use their own stringer, creel, bucket, or bag to store their catch. The catch of each angler must remain separate until it is placed in your vehicle when leaving.
Announcement Concerning Bingo!!
Jim Leberknight, our longstanding Bingo chairman, is stepping down. Bingo is a vital fundraiser for Great Swamp, and we are in search of a new chairperson. Interested parties, or those who know a potential candidate, should contact Carl Lewis at 215-723-2930. Without Bingo, we would face significant membership fee increases.
General Membership Meeting
Our next General Membership meeting is Tuesday, December 17th at 7:30pm. This will be our last membership meeting of 2024. Elections were held on Tuesday, November 19th, and the results are as follows:
President – Carl Lewis
Vice President – Walt Sinnwell
Treasurer – Joe Berardi

Membership Secretary – Alicia Holzer

Fall Stocking
We will be stocking on Friday, December 20th for ice fishing. The ponds will be closed until the ice is safe for activities. Depending on the weather, we will notify you when fishing can resume.
New Dropbox Available for Membership Renewals
To simplify the renewal process for our members, we have installed a new drop box. It is located on the wall of the utility room. When you approach the clubhouse door, look to your left, and you will see the slot just to the left of the utility room door. For those who prefer not to send their renewal through the mail, you can conveniently drop it off at the club.
Our Kids Christmas Party is approaching quickly!!
The Christmas party is set for December 8th, but the response has been lower than anticipated. Those interested in bringing children to meet Santa and receive a gift must fill out the registration form and return it to Ed McCleland by the first weekend in December.
Reservations are required for the party, so Santa knows exactly which presents he needs to bring. You can click below for the sign-up sheet. The form can be filled out online, then saved and emailed to Ed McCleland at emccleland@gmail.com, or you can print it out and mail it to Ed McCleland, 312 W. Fifth St., Lansdale PA 19446.

Volunteers Are Needed
Great Swamp Fish and Game is doing quite well, overall. Our only downside is getting volunteers to come out and help. We are in need of volunteers for the kitchen, bingo, and mowing the grass/ trimming. Please contact Tony Kulp for the kitchen, Jim Leberknight for bingo and Earl for mowing the grass. Without volunteers to help the club, the board will be forced to contract outside help which, in return, will force us to raise your dues.

Cut Firewood!
If there is anyone interested in purchasing cut firewood from the club, please contact Walt Sinnwell at 215-939-1381 to make arrangements.
