I am very interested, but it would be dependant as to where and when, not everyone can just gad off for a week for any number of reasons, even a long day has to be negotiated in my case(my son), not so long ago I would have gone fishing on the Saturday after returning from holidays on a Friday, not this year, my back is killing me, the logistics of going fishing for a few hours and travelling hundreds of miles do not compute....

A lot depends on the day as we will be staying with my son and his tribe in Ilkley for a couple of weeks in September then going on holiday to somewhere warmer..............

Remember your head gear Jerry. You wouldn't want to be on Ilkley Moor baht'at

I would try to make it depending on dates

 

[Alan Whitty]

As would I Ian, though fishing for grayling may interest me, but being stood for hours, or roving would not...

I'm sure Mark didn't mean we were "not interested" in a bad way. Nobody wants to keep posting about health conditions, but the reason I don't readily sign up for things is that I really can't predict what days in the future I'll be up for fishing or driving a couple of hundred miles. I've done lots of fishing this season, but I've also had to cancel several things I wanted to do: take the car to France to see a mate who's now doing up a house on a riverbank, visit friends in Manchester and North Wales. Having to play it by ear, I don't like to make arrangements I can't be sure to keep.

To do Simon’s memory justice the venue ought to be one stuffed with silvers.

The LIF is very nice but it’s an awful long way for many and a lot of money for a days fishing. My endearing memory of the “Iron Man” would be a freezing cold January day with sleet in the wind on the GUC near Berkhampsted armed with a dozen pinkies and an eggcup full of squatt. It wouldn’t bother Si in the slightest.

Clattercote or Boddingtons would suit. I’d organise it but I cannot do it atm and the last fish in I organised I ended up out of pocket due to a number of people not paying me after I’d booked and paid for the venue. In the circumstances you will understand my reluctance to volunteer

 

[Alan Whitty]

The roach venue where you all got drowned would be the one that Simon would have loved I'm sure, Boddington wasn't it?

 

[Alan Whitty]

Electronic money transfer into the organisers account would be best I would imagine...

Yep…that’s the one. Stuffed full of both carp and silvers.

 

[Alan Whitty]

You can have the mud pigs....a day's roach fishing on the waggler would be nice...

The place is the Bermuda Triangle of roach fishing.

The same place and day with only four hours difference. Some nice roach in there.
