And good luck with it!

Sorry I can't make this one Jim, work and stuff . I think it will fish it's nuts off Friday what with this rain. Hope you have a slab happy evening and watch out for those dog roach at dusk..............

dont worry peter, if all goes well and people want more of the same, or similar, you'll get your chance, if you're an insomniac, you're in luck, no r whites lemonade, but plenty of cuppas and bacon sarnies throughout the night, if you or anyone else wants to stop by, we'd love to see you

geoff I'd love to catch up, and chew the fat, but know weekends can be difficult, all in is at 1900hrs, if you arrive late, I'm sure they'll be swims available, and if that dont suit, we'd love you to pop down and assist

basically we wanna meet you all, hear your criticisms and ideas, engage in some banter, and tend the seedling TAC, and if you know any junior anglers, bring'em on down, they'll go home with their hands full of tackle, and if you have any old floats, hooks, split shot, bait boxes etc etc [as if you haven't] bring'em wiv you, we'll stick'em in the junior help yourself bin

PLEASE TRY TO HELP US TO HELP MAKE THIS EVENT A SUCCESS, IT ISN'T ALWAYS EASY DOING EVERYTHING FOR FREE, BUT AS YOU ALL KNOW
ITS ALWAYS GONNA BE FREE WITH THE T.A.C.

a fab night was had by all, although captures were poor, most landed species was eel, best specimen was a 3.11 perch caught in the dark on a single red maggot
highlight for everyone was two youngsters watching their torch lit floats all night, thats gotta reassure everyone that not every youngster wants to catch carp
anyways a big thankyou to everyone who assisted and took part, especially gino who runs the burger bar, he let us use his gazebo and left his lights on for us
more details are available on our website, including discussions about other daytime events
