Graham Nash

Great report thanks Steve .... that's very interesting about getting the blown fish back into the water. It always saddens me to see them struggling on the top.

I was very tempted, but once the forecast looked like it might produce lumps in the water I decided against it. No one wants an old bloke bringing last nights dinner up over the side of their boat!

Im afraid Samoya will have to pull out of this .... I had the towbar fitted to my new van and the bloody gearbox has gone!! Cant get it sorted till the day AFTER the competition!

weather permitting Id like to try for this one Graham with at least one non member

could you take a rod?

sounds like a great weekend.

Ahhhhh ... that old chestnut

same every year isnt it!

I would have sleepless nights if I had to negotiate that each trip!

Its "the invisible man"

I'm having yet another garage clear out and have a couple of bits that might be of some help to members. 7.5k anchor. Small buoy (about 12 inches, banana for scale 😉) 2xl wet suit, about 15 years but never worn. Zip works like new. Size 10 diving boots Beaver fins Small dive gloves. Sherwood BCD Collect from upton. Donation to the club charity only. These have moved around my garage for years despite me knowing I'll never dive again.

its not common on "our" coastlines, which is why it's causing such a stir. "Only a few pairs of snow bunting breed here, so look out for this striking black-and-white bird in winter around Scotland, the North West and the East coast of England".

I was rather hoping to get out for the first time since the summer and join the RNLI flounder comp, but it would seem my youngest grandchildren (twins) are playing rugby at Lytchett Minster on Sunday so Ive been summoned by their dad to be on the sideline to support them.

Im in awe of people who can do this sort of stuff. Well done (and thanks) to Oli for his commitment up till now and good luck to those who have the task of changing it over. It might as well be in Swahili to me!
