Some exceptional weights
considering the gale force conditions. Catches were made up of Roach,
Rudd, Skimmers and Perch. Caught on a variety of baits. The winner
catching mainly on big red maggot.
Thank you to everyone who
donated a prize and to the match sponsor, Dave Chandler. Everyone went
away with something. Also a big thank you to Trevor Sturge for his
continued support in running the matches. On Thursday, having seen the
forecast, I telephoned Mr Darler and asked for a favour? His reply
was....So you have seen the weather forecast then!! An extra half an hour
in bed for me, whilst the poor sod pegged it out in the pouring rain!
Still he was awarded a special prize and I'm told he is soon to have
presented a clubman's cap for his winning match on the Lode last month.
Finally, a very merry Christmas to you all.
