Firstly thanks to Taff, Worms, Hamper and No Barra for your work on and before the day without the efforts of these people matchday would be a bit of a farce.

The defending trophy holder “End Peg” Roy Ravenhill was unable to defend his crown because he is due to take his beautiful wife Elaine up the aisle in Vegas 🙂 On behalf of the club we wish you both every happiness in your future together.

Small and perfectly formed

Following everyone going out and buying additional nets on the advice of the fishery owner there was some hyperactivity on eBay that evening selling off said nets because the venue didn’t produce the monster weights everyone anticipated but generally the venue was well received with good weights caught all around, well almost everywhere.

Bring ya veggie stuff Al I will cook it in Pig fat

I was on the scrounge for a lift due to being picked up after the match because I was to going to fancy London for a few beers with Mincemeat (remember him) and Robin kindly offer to pick me up, “bring some of that no meat crap you eat and I will cook you brekkie” he said, so I happily got my Vegan sausages and some toms and mushies. Robin wasted no time in feeding the 5000 and I think anyone who was hungry got fed from the “Red Van of Plenty” but I have to mention mate the idea of being a veggie is not have your veggie delights cooked in Pig fat !! But… it was delicious and I won’t breathe a word to the Vegan Police.

Following the usual Chairmans speech, there was a point of order to be discussed about some recent misdirections on data sharing which the Big Fella was happy to communicate in the style in which it was written.

The fine English gentleman even had time to doth the quill and help out with the weigh in.

The match was a won by Mick Drew with 78:95 fishing down the edge on corn off peg 29 on the pole, obviously cheered on by the Big Fella off peg 29 who finished second with 66:50 narrowly beating his love crush Denny who fished peg 32 for 62:00 with our resident poet Matt HMP Shakespear finishing 4th off peg 37 for 58:20 with sections to Mick Edwards and Gavin Young.

Shout to Mark Causer who took my biggest fish lead away with a splendid 11:60 Carp, sorry I didn’t take a photo Mark, not sour grapes honest.

All in all a good day full of laughter and always banter, which at the end of the day is what it’s all about.
