[Neneman Nick]

Well i`ve never been so insulted

 

[Jeff Woodhouse]

Latest is, Guttfield's going to check now because he's remembered that someone has bought him tickets to see some ......... tennis!

He'll let me know in the next day or so if it is the same date, so there might be his place.

 

[Ray Roberts]

Well i`ve never been so insulted

Then you need to get out more.

 

[geoffmaynard]

PS
And now for something completely different!
Rick Humphreys is coming with us on this day. Rick is back in the UK for a short rest from his guiding operation in Thailand. If you ever wondered what it's like to catch the biggest freshwater fish in the world, he's a very easy bloke to chat to and a mine of information on the subject. His latest report is here.

 

[Jeff Woodhouse]

Frank G is ok for the 25th after all. His tennis is the day after.

 

[S-Kippy]

Okay chaps, cheques for 20 quid payable to Lower Itchen Fishery - and a second cheque for whatever you can spare payable to Second Chance charity.
Send it to 260 Chertsey Lane, Staines, Middx, TW18 3NF.

If nobody suggests a date for the second trip by tomorrow evening I'll pick a tues/weds/thurs at random again in Dec/Jan

Geoff...can I be really stupid and ask you to clarify please. Do you want two cheques BOTH to be sent to that address or just the one ? I ask because you say send IT not THEM.

 

[geoffmaynard]

Yes, both cheques to the same address please.

I double checked with the guvn'r and we definitely do have both ends of the fishery.

Whilst trotting the lower section last season, I did lose something rather big! Never saw it... just went upstream, stopped, turned and went downstream... and kept going and going and going............. I suppose it wasn't a Freshwater Ray... probably a big old Salmon... or?

Can't make any date in December I'm afraid, hopefully too much work selling liquid refreshments to the great unwashed! Jan or Feb will be good tho!

 

[Jeff Woodhouse]

I trust my tick is good?

 

[geoffmaynard]

It was you who told me to get the money in! :wh

 

[chav professor]

If a date comes on either a thursday, friday saturday or sun - I could make a date if a further trip could be organised

kind regards,

Christian Barker

So there are still 3, or possibly 4 places going.
Anyone wanting to attend a weekend fish-in please contact Mithrandir.

 

[Mithrandir]

If anyone wants a weekend trip. Preferably a Saturday let me know and I am happy to do the organising. I am also considering a trip to Britford after roach and grayling. Again a weekend most likely but happy to do the organising

PM me if you fancy either and I will try and get some dates that suit if there is enough interest .

 

[S-Kippy]

Having never fished the Lower Itchen water will there be a tactical brief posted in due course ? Much as I love grayling I would not wish to miss a chance of a big roach.

 

[Will Barnard]

Skippy, Ill put you on to some roach mate.

Are we all going to meet for brekkie first? Winchester services?

 

[geoffmaynard]

Good idea. Early one though.

 

[Will Barnard]

Is there any other kind? Of course an early one...what time then Geoff?

 

[Rog Hill]

Geoff, are you ready for the cheques for the second date yet?

Mithandrir, let us know if you're going to organise one at Britford. That's one water I've been promising myself to get to.

ATB,

Rog
