Thanks Mal A Great report and valuable one too Mal. Sad to see it did not totally not go to plan. We almost went out Yesterday ourselves but decided not to due to the uncertainty of the wind and sea state. Being spring time I have so much timber treating to do in the garden so unfortunately due to the long spell of dry weather forecast that one has taken precedent. I hate it with a passion !!! Thanks again for the report which has confirmed that we had made the right decision albeit a reluctant one !!!! ☹️ Greg

Well done Steve. Good result 👍

Nice fishing Neil. I do the same as Colin. My net comes off of the pole so it is easy to hook my scales onto the net. My net weighs exactly 1lb. So every fish weighed I subtract the weight of the fish by a lb. Simples 👍

Looks like Chris W's Winning prizes shed 😁

Happy Birthday Adrian Best Wishes Greg

Happy Birthday to you both, hope you have a great one in the sun today 🙂

Is it me or should the van be giving way to the boat anyway. Best person to ask is Lofty, as he has just done his RYA Level 2 !!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Chris, Just the one Doom bar tonight then !!!!!!! 🤫 Best Wishes Greg

Gazebo - SOLD

Rob I was on my boat on Monday afternoon on B Pontoon when the weather was rough. Whilst I was there Cobbs staff were going along checking the boat lines. Also, if your friend phones Cobbs, they will check on his boat if asked to, It's all part of the service down there. Greg

We have purchased a Garden Pod which will hopefully be delivered this week. The Gazebo that stood in the place where it is going is now not required. We bought this Gazebo from Haskins Ferndown last year and they still have it on display in the shop. It is on sale for new in the shop for £449.00. I am selling ours for £100.00. Bargain. It has been recently been dismantled and is ready to go. I have kept the build instructions the overall size is 3.00M x 3.00M about 2.200M high. The fabric roof is manually retractable which means you can either be in the shade or in the sun. PM me if interested or contact me on my mobile 07748 630343 Also, for sale is the all weather brown rattan garden furniture set consisting of a corner sofa, foot stool/extra seat and coffee table (which is sun damaged under the glass but usable) The set comes complete with cream cushions with washable covers. It is a very comfortable set. £150.00

Farming doesn't seem that bad after all then Martin 😁 Greg

Happy Birthday Tony Hope you have a great day.

Plaice and Flounder off of the menu then !!!

Let's hope this is not too major. One blessing is that the weather is stable for the clean up operation for both today and tomorrow. If this would of happened later in the week then a clean up would have been very difficult. Let's hope Witch Farm really does have this under control which I suspect they will do. 🤞

Bugger, I had Swordfish at the Italian Restaurant last night. Well, at least I thought I did 🤫

So sad. Apparently heard on the news this morning that Trophy hunters have taken the shark away prior to the fish being able to be inspected to find out the cause of death!!

I know this is not boat related but I have quite a bit of petrol in the garage that I put in the mower. As this is now one year old (approx) can I refresh it by adding a fuel stabiliser such as Mountfeild Fuel Stabiliser to use in the mower ? If not any suggestions? Cheers Greg

Ditto Mal I am in big trouble for belly laughing at the joke as I read it out to my wife word for word 😁😁

Glad I wasn't the only one !!!!!

Hi Charlie No problem. Nikon Prostaff P3 10x42 7.0 Waterproof ( Not Saltwater Proof) Actually, just put them next to my RSPB ones and they are the same height but thinner. I guess that makes them compact!!!!! Miss sold again !!!! I will still bring them along though Greg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Likewise Charlie, Going on holiday this year and our hotel is on the edge of a rainforest. So I had a a pair of compact Bins (Nikon) bought from Jessops Circa £189.00 for my Birthday a couple of weeks ago. Although they say they are compact I would a say they are about three quarter size of a normal pair so not massively compact. However, the Zoom is amazing and far out perform my full size RSPB pair. Happy to bring them along to the Meeting tomorrow night if you want to have a look? Let me know? Greg

I've been rumbled !!!!! Thanks Neil 😁

Thank you guys for all your kind wishes. Had a lazy day off and went out to dinner tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

May I suggest before you start discussing the rules and regs (and who or who not is going to be charged to enter etc) that you see if there is enough club junior participants to make it viable for a comp. Brian used to publish a list of juniors who were part of the family membership group. Once that has been established, then you can evaluate whether the comp is viable with club junior numbers. And as I suspect that there may not be enough take up from club member's juniors, then open it up to non member juniors who are closely associated with the club (i.e club member's friends and relatives juniors) I personally agree not to charge an entry fee at all. If all the numbers stack up then a dedicated club member parent would need to take charge and organise the comp (like what happened in the past) as they have a vested interest for it's success. Speaking from experience, it does take a lot of organising, however if successful, it is very rewarding. PS - Unless I am mistaken, I believe the maximum age a junior could be was up to the age of 16 Years ????
