Lucky you spotted that Chris or my boat would have gone on autopilot without me

Sorry yes 29th that's the trouble at my age trying to arrange things from memory, will alter my post accordingly

Nice one Kam sounds like you had a reasonable day

I have a Raymarine DS 600 sounder for sale. I do not have the transducer but something along the lines of a airmar P79 would be ok. Had this on Awol for a while and worked well. The unit is in good order but not used for a few years. Open to offers If it doesn't work will refund money no problem

Happy birthday Matt, I hope one way or other it's a wet one

Happy Birthday Dave & Mark hope you both keeping out of the weather and doing something nice

Trust you to pick the best

As an aside I just remembered we used to use club competitions to select a "club champion" who then went forward to represent our club in a national competition organised by Boat Fishing Magazine which was then owned by Jim Whippy. James Parker represented us for a couple of years and won prizes both times. One time he won a 70hp Suzuki (competition sponsors) outboard for himself and £750 for the club. I think it was 2004 the year of the big Asian tsunami. As a club we did not need the money so it was donated to the Tsunami relief fund. On hearing this Suzuki doubled our cheque to £1500

We do have competitive anglers within the club so why not have a club team. Life is a competition, some folks are better at it than others, some you win some you lose. I would have no problem with anyone setting up a team but the emphasis would be from my stand point. "them setting it up" as like you Dave I just want to go fishing and chill, I take my stress pills in the week, at the week end I just want chill pills. Lets not over complicate an open competition especially as it's not run by us.

Survey = bollox (past experiences over 43 years prove it) ballot box = eyes turned, but only if you vote the right way (no precedence yet) Our leaders (read as employees) and their masters (eu) need to know who is in charge I must be getting older as I would only have thought this years ago
