Matt Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 oh dear! i cant remember how many trains and taxis were involved in acheiving last years trip but i know i went to and from poole to portsmouth to eastbourne a few times. And i do know it was the greatest memory of last year, but i had thought about giving it a break this year so do i do it again, surely theres no point in having a long distance mile eater if you dont let her lift her skirts at least once a year? but could someone fix the weather this year? in practice if you lot go and have great weather i will be well fed up! maybe it has to be done again You know you want to...

Or an Osprey! Let her rip, maybe some keen crew in the Club would help you bring her round to Poole again, or maybe to leave from Portsmouth?

Steve S Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I've not been to Alderney before, i'd love to go so please count me in I'm not sure who would be joining me on Tigerfish at this point. I'll be sleeping on the boat most probably. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 The list to date looks like joint Venture Awol Kingfisher Serenity Wishin Too Freebouys White Magic Mrs Sea?? Alfresco Tigerfish Without wishing to take over the organisation but knowing how busy Adam is, I have talked to contacts on the Island Mainbrayce chandlers have confirmed that they will have two water taxi's running on the dates and all moorings should be in by Easter. They have also confirmed that price discounts will be the same as previous years for diesel fuel and the water taxi. Mainbrayce are the duty free shop on the island, order it early during the stay and they deliver to the boats by water taxi. Other boat bits can also be bought from them VAT free, if you are going and looking to get something for your boat give them a call 01481 822722 or 07781 415420 I have also spoken to Mark at Alderney Angling [same applies re VAT free tackle] He only had accomadation available on the Friday night, I have booked all 6 spaces that he had available [for B and B] in case members need it [only 2 of those will be required by my crew] I am awaiting a reply from emails sent ref other accomadation Hope that helps Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 all days booked off now for first and reserve dates. Any other weymouth boats going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian.Jones Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm already booked on Tiger Lily so at least one Weymouth boat will be there, but I expect there will be plenty more, with Bank Holiday and good tides coinciding. My trip was booked six months ago, long before Pbsbac dates were advised, and even then we took the last rooms where we are staying. I will be there again if the trip is postponed........!

I'm slowely getting JV up to scratch after a winter of little use and buying new tackle ready for the trip. Cant wait! I am sure that I should phone Rachael [Or use Facebook] to let her know that it is not compulsory to have new tackle every year for turbot fishing. We are all keen, just playing it cool [At the moment] Charlie Adam F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
