Charlie, All trophies have been engraved with the latest results on, I had yours and Wendy's at the meeting but all the trophies I had left have been returned to Andy's. It would be good to get a photo or two with the Chapmans holding their haul of silverware from last year. 😀 Some of the trophies were taken by those who received them and will need to be returned to the cabinets at Andy's once they have finished showing them off. 👍

Gary with PB Blonde Ray.

Hope you’ve both had a good un. 👍🎂

I was very tempted with Alderney Charlie, but I have one of my ankles being fused early June and the issue would have been the hill into town! 😳 If there was a bit of rough weather I would really struggle at the moment, so thought better of it. May take the boat out of the water as recovery can be a long process, thus the dry few months to lose some timber while on crutches. 🤞🤞

.

Cheers for all the good wishes, had a great couple of days being spoilt, nice prezzies, a couple of meals out and a beer or two. Last beer for a while going on the wagon from tonight!! Dry May, June, July at least!! 😩😩🤷.

A great day out Mal, thanks for arranging the bait and nibbles. A good few species to kick start the season between us. Mal with an 11lb 3oz undulate after a 4ld thorn back. Blake caught a 4ld bass and another soon after slightly smaller. Showing you don’t need an anchor as a hook for a decent fish, Blake still had a bream hook on. A mature blonde and 13lb 1oz blonde ray. IMG_0410.MOV A flyby just because it was the first trip out in ages!! Blake and Cooper having a kip on the engine hatch. All finished off with a cool Guinness in the clubhouse, perfect. 👍 IMG_0410.MOV

Happy Birthday Tony, enjoy. 🎉🎂🥂

I paid twice as I hit the pay button but left my reg number in, when I got back to the car Leanne said, did I put her car reg in as she was driving her car!!! 😤😤
