<u>Reserves List</u>

Fred Boniface

NOTE: If we end up with only a handful of reserves they can come along anyway, as there are always a few who have put their names down and don't turn up without letting us know.

 

[Fred Boniface]

As the only current "reserve" I am definitely planning to attend - just thought I would ask if anyone else is attending from Milton Keynes and can offer a lift.

It might save some domestic strife if I do not disappear for twelve hours with the family bus. I will if I have to but may arrive missing some vital organs....

Is it the Banbury Tesco for Breakfast ?

Ive just got back from my first trip to clattercote. There was one person there when i got there who left after about an hour, two more turned up and stayed for about an hour and a half and another chap turned up and couldnt have had his bait in the water more than 10 mins before he gave up and left. They were all fishing the first bank nearest to the car park. I chose to fish the opposite bank and sat on peg 112 because the wind was off my back and it was relatively sheltered. I fished several different methods (all described on here previously) and didnt have a twitch in the 6 hours I was there. There was however a couple of Crested Grebes working the area in front of me, do you think they were having all my bait away ? and perhaps even scaring the fish off ?

 

[Bryan Baron 2]

More like the weathers put them down. Gebes are not really a threat to 5Ib plus carp etc.

 

[Neil Maidment]

Graham, can't make this one now. It seems I have a date with the wife and "Joseph and his bleedin coat of many colours" in London!/forum/smilies/sad_smiley.gif

[Nigel Connor(ACA ,SAA)]

Hi Graham,

Have you managed a date for the actual match yet?

Thanks

 

[Mark Hewitt]

The 12th as I understand it Nigel?

Or at least I hope so....

 

[Nigel Connor(ACA ,SAA)]

[Mark Hewitt]

Oh dear

Its just my hand writing - to me it clearly says the 17th

/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

The ACTUAL MATCH will be on the 17th May - see this thead

Unless things have changed.

 

[Nigel Connor(ACA ,SAA)]

I do not want to confuse anyone.I just wondered if Graham had actually booked the 17th and wanted any money from us.

 

[Wolfman Woody]

Will Mr Marzdin please note - I WILL <u>NOT</u> BE FISHING ON THE 12th! I keep ending up on this list and I keep saying the same thing.

I will be there to help if required.

If I am not required then I shall sit behind Kevin Perkins with camera at the ready in case he falls off his chair again. If Mr Marzdin can get the loan of a video recorder then I would like to capture Kevin's fall on that and get £250 for the clip for TV.

Note to Kevin - if you can arrange said fall, would you consider ending up in the water as then, 'You've Been Framed' are sure to buy the clip and there's a drink in it for you!

Although Clattercote water doesn't taste too nice, so I've heard.

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Woody,

quick, FM have replaced your photo with some shifty looking bloke!

 

[Wolfman Woody]

You saucy mare.

That's clipped from a group photo at my son's wedding. It was a happy time.

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Oh when I look closely I can just see your smile starting to break /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

You'll be laughing when you watch my attempts at Clattercote, so we'll get you a new photo then.

How come the Clattercote events are held so early in the season?

I understand it can be very peggy until later in the year.
