New year kayak meet 2/1/2011

[seagypsy]

 

 

Due to the cancellation of the poole flounder kayak meet this year i have been in contact with Zzippy and we have come up with an idea to have a meet on Sunday 2nd January at Lake Pier which is for anyone to come along and have a laugh put faces to names,swap ideas and enjoy the banter. .

This is not to replace the flounder meet , it will hopefully be similar but its something to look forward to over xmas and try out any new toys we may have.

Be it paddling ,fishing or sailing the more that turn up is what makes the meet, there's still a chance of some flounders then too.

I have put this post up to give you a chance to plan,

It is a bank holiday the following day so we will continue into this if the weather suits, , Bournemouth canoes will be in attendance with some demo kayaks for anyone who wants to try it out?

Hope to see as many members there as possible

Sounds like a plan

I have absolutely no doubt something will conspire to scupper my plans but i will endeavour to be there for the crack alone. I will not however be getting wet!

 

It will be good to see you nutters again.

As I live in Hamworthy, I dare say I'll take a stroll down and say hello.

It's usually FROSTY around that time of the year though.

I think alot will be fishing the afternoon flood so fishing marks should be easy to spot ,especially if Zzippys flounder bash last year was anything to go by.

Otherwise you can try out the Ocean Kayak demo fleet, some will be sailing or just go for a paddle , but the emphasis is being social and having fun. . Lets hope for good weather

Sounds like it could be a late morning arrival for me...... unless a crewing space appears between now and then !!

Will be good to see you boys brave the cold again!!
