What is the Austin Woods and Waters Club?

The Austin Woods and Waters Club is a regional, social organization whose purposes are:

It is a non-profit organization formed in 1965 and is comprised of over 300 men and women, who love, appreciate and enjoy the outdoors


AWWC's 2003 Spring Event at Texas Disposal Systems

AWWC is dedicated to "passing on the heritage" of the outdoors experience to the younger generations and to the conservation of our wildlife resources. Club activities stress sound game management, conservation, proper and ethical outdoor activities and, of course, great fellowship while participating in these outdoors experiences. Our members like to spend time outdoors hunting, fishing, and talking about it and sometimes, possibly even exaggerating just a bit.

Youth Activities

Another priority of the AWWC is to introduce young people to the outdoors. We sponsor various youth activities such as kid fishing events, and we organize and conduct youth hunts under the auspices of the Texas Youth Hunting Program.

Hunting, Fishing, Shooting, and Outdoor Activities

The Club offers its members and guests shooting sports events and hunting and fishing trips of all types. The generous sponsorship of lodges, guide services and members help keep these trips affordable.


Social Activities

Each spring, AWWC holds one of two major social events of the year. This Spring event is called the Spring Family Picnic and Wild Game Cook Off and is open to all members and their families. Game recipes and outdoor delicacies prepared by our accomplished member-chefs are the highlights of the event, as well as activities and fun for the entire family. Our fall event is the annual McBride Foundation Banquet, the purpose of which is to raise funds for the Clubs charitable entity.

Typically, twice a year, the Club sponsors a Trophy Room Cocktail Party at the home of one of our members. Members and their spouses are invited and the purpose of the event is to get to know each other better, have fun


 

The Game Bag Monthly Newsletter

AWWC is proud to have the renowned outdoor writer/photographer John Jefferson serves as editor of our award winning monthly publication, THE GAME BAG. The newsletter announces the speaker for the upcoming luncheon, lists all upcoming events (social as well as hunting and fishing expeditions), interesting photographs and articles about Club events as well as about the hunting and fishing experiences of our members. Many members own their own businesses and advertise in the GAME BAG, in addition to taking advantage of networking opportunities at Club activities.

Annually the Club honors one of its own members as a dedicated outdoors enthusiast who has shown particular dedication to the ideals of the Club and its goals.
