Bob,

 

Don't forget the B.A.S.S. Catch and Release prize ?

 

I would also like to take the opportunitly to thank all who organised and planned the event.

[Swainiac]

Again, thanks Bob for your valiant efforts behind the keyboard both before and especially after the event, meaning that you lost valuable fishing time, often just enough time to squeak out a prize winner!

 

A great day.

[Bob F]

Ooops! Yes, sorry. Forgot the B.A.S.S trophy.

 

I thought the inclusion of the B.A.S.S. Catch & Release Prize was an excellent idea.

It brought a welcome new dimension to the competition, and got the competitors thinking about different tactics on the day.

 

Some competitors were a bit sceptable about the trophy prior to the event, but I was pleased to hear people postively discussing B.A.S.S at the weigh-in and prize giving, and interested in who had won. Even if some of it was at the expense of our Conversation Officer, who mistakingly put a winning fish back without photographing or recording it.

 

Anyway, all of this helps B.A.S.S. to promote their cause.

[Manic Moore]

 

Yes many thanks for all the hard work for all those involved. It can be a thankless task at times. I hope you were all motivated by the excelent turnout and how seamless the day ran.

 

Thanks again

Almost a fifty fifty split, which couldnt really be fairer. Very good to see different faces up at the prize table, too. Roll on Nov 2007!

Nice one Paul, i;ll have an another disc ready for you soon with more pictures from the registration and weigh in.

 

Send me your photo's guys!

I can't believe it, my 1lb 8oz (50%) Pout was weighed in by Charlie but no mention of it and my rightful place in this illustrious hall of fame is missing.

 

Outrageous.

Gordon H

[Bob F]

Hmm, we'll have to have a look through the return slips Gordon and see if we (I)missed it.

 

Paul J, can you see if Gordon's slip is in the green envelope?

 

We wouldn't want to deny Gordon a place in the Hall of Fame.

 

cheers

[duncan]

glad I didnt rush round to baiter with my 1lb 9oz pout just to get on the list! Leaves Gordon as sole occupant of 31st as well!

Paul J, can you see if Gordon's slip is in the green envelope?

 

Guys,

 

I think this is the problem, despite having the fish weighed twice, once by Paul on the table scales and Charlie on the big ones, no one gave me return slip! As it was the first competition that I have actually weighed a fish in didn't know I had to get one.

 

Lesson learnt for next time.

 

Gordon H

 

[Maverick Martin]

Gordon

 

The return slip is your part of the entry form which would have been given back to you or whoever signed in for you at the registration. We would have needed this if you weighed in a fish as proof of entry into the competition. This is clearly stated in the rules a copy of which you would/should have received at the registration.

 

Anyways never mind you wouldnt have been in the prizes, just means you will remain unfamous like me

 

Martin

[Fugazi]

Martin,

 

Yes it all went wrong when our paperwork got left in the car because we were in such a rush to get out fishing. Anyway, at least in this competition I can feel quietly confident that I could have made a place on the leader board if it had not been for a minor technicality.

 

Not deterred by this I
