A Question.

[blueboatdriver]

Just a quick one.

 

If anyone arrives for the weigh-in at 16:55 and there are 2 or 3 people in the queue in front of them will their fish still count if it takes more than 5 minutes to weigh the earlier fish?

[Wedger]

Perhaps there should be a closing time for the queue not the scales !

[blueboatdriver]

If a few people have got several different species to weigh in it could take a while.

I would have thought that you hand in your registration form as soon as you land and that way you will have registered that you arrived before the cut off time.

 

Thats my thoughts anyway

Yes chaps already thought of. It will be the same as in previous years if your in the queue by 5pm you will get to weigh your fish in but be just 1 tick past the 5pm shown on the adjudicators watch and thats if no weigh in for you

A little off topic, but how does registratipon work for chartered boats? I have some friends fishing with Andy on Silver Spray on Sunday, I tried to get them to take part but they don't know there way round Poole as they are from London.

 

Do the chartered boat have to have all participent named or just the name of boat with number of people?

Martin,

You have a PM from me

Cheers,

Simon.

Charter anglers take part under the same rules as any other participant. One member of the crew can come to the signing in point and fill in the forms and pay the money for others in their party. To speed things up a little they could download entry forms and fill them in prior to the registration. From the quay baiter is not difficult to find.

 

Participants must weigh in their own fish before 5PM

Thanks Martin.

 

[Maverick Martin]

Ammendment to weigh in (I gave duff info )

 

Fish must be weighed in before 5pm with the competitors original entry slip. That means if the skipper is tied up sorting the boat out a crew member can weigh in on his behalf

 

Martin

[Newboy]

Martin, where can I download the form?

[Maverick Martin]

Kam

 

Go to our home page and download comp rules which is adjacent to the comp poster. This will give you a complete entry pack

[blueboatdriver]

Good answer Martin.

Thanks,

Simon.

hi all

 

just a small bit of advice, the scales will close at 1700 except for those fish in the queue. arrive late and you will not get your fish weighed.

 

 

Its down to you to calculate the time of return and lines up.

 

 

Very Very exceptional circumstances may be allowed but do not anticipate any favours.

 

Better to get to the scales early than have a good fish miss the scales

This being my first trip out since breaking the wrist, I think I'll worry about catching a "weigher" before I worry about trolling over to the weigh in!!!!!

Charlie,

 

Presume these exceptional circumstances would be more in the area of assisting the coastguard with a casualty than running out of fuel, the engine won't start or beached (al la Maverick a couple of weeks ago)?

 

Always good to have people aware that the committee can make such decisions in exceptional circumstances.

Damn, I thought I got away with that one Never mind we caught some flatties and it was a pleasant day waiting for the water to return albiet cold brrrr no heater available on our smalls boat not like you posh lot

 

Martin

[great white]

Duncan that was exactly what I meant

 

assisting someone in trouble is exactlye what I had in mind

 

Towing someone who is out of fuel would give us somthing to consider, the towing boat would get an allowance but the boat that did not have enough fuel would not.
