Member Removed Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Hi, my name is Mike and I and my partner moved down here last year, when I retired. I have been a course angler for 50years and used to own my own ponds, but due to an arm injury, could not keep up the maintainance, and so had to sell. I dont't intend giving up course angling, but I want to learn sea fishing,but due to my injury, distance casting is out. So I am on the lookout for a small boat and a good club where I can meet people and learn, and hopefully have a good time. It seems i have found the club ( yours ), and I hope to be at your next meeting, and look forward to seeing you then Mike Stephenson Quote

TomBettle Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Welcome to the forum Mike, but I sincerely echo the other guys. Join the club "proper" and come along to a meeting. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Hi Mike Welcome to the club forum and dare I say I told you so Warm welcomes abound in this friendly club. Make the effort to join in and info will be forthcoming. Come along to our next meeting and introduce yourself. As an added bonus the beer is cheapish not quite Yorkshire prices but close enough for us Martin Quote
Jim Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Welcome Mike & Partner. See you out there. Jim Quote
Rob Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Welcome. This is a great opportunity to "try before you buy", there are many different boats from 30+ feet to 15 or smaller (?). No doubt you will be taken out to try a variety if you want and pick up some tips and get an idea of what you want. See you at the next meeting hopefully. Rob Quote
