Lofty As said previously it is hard for the support boats to know who are competitors or not. Last year we approached one kayak and told him if he was in the competition he was out of the zone and should move. His reply was not in the comp mate, with that we could do nothing as no way of identifying him. With numbers on boats or at least stickers of some sort we could of reported back to base. Regarding the cheating element it will be very hard to stop as those that would stoop that low are very inventive. I would suggest as said at last nights meeting that tying to a fixed object should be banned ie: drop your hook or sling it. The idea about baits ie chopping off tails prior to launch is a good one although not fool proof.

Happy Birthday Dave, hope you weren't digging today or if you were that you had a beer in your hand

Alun Hopefully Tony/Stuie will have sussed out PY clubs availability Mon/Tuesday so we should know dates for the DD after this coming weeks committee meeting

I wouldn't go on large tides neither would I go on a date clashing with the presentation

Happy Birthday from Me & V Sandy What did he get you? it better have been worth missing the club meeting for

I read in the local rag that Wickes were having a sale on Council Recliners. I got curious about this item, never heard of a 'Council Recliner', so I went to Wickes to find out what these things were ... Guess what? I've had one in the shed for years! Just hadn't figured out how to use it properly

We had a power outage at our house this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, DVD, iPad, ham radio & my new surround sound music system were all shut down. Then I discovered that my iPhone battery was flat and to top it off it was raining outside, so I couldn't play golf. I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this also needs power, so I sat and talked with my wife for a few hours. She seems like a nice person.

Belated happy birthday Kev

PJ hope you have had a great Birthday and Christmas.......did you get to open 2 lots of pressies? jammie git

Just received from Steve

Kam tell your friend he will still need to paint marine plywood. The major difference between marine ply and wbp is the glue used. Be aware there are even different grades of marine plywood ranging from softwood through to hardwood. If new marine plywood does not have a protective coating the glue will hold up but the timber veneers will still wick up water and rot

Happy Birthday George

Your last Santa should be locked up Lofty..........it's in his eyes amongst other places

Well done Adam and great that you are having input from the master mariner blokey

A very happy Christmas and a Happy new year to all from Martin & Veronica

I agree usually somewhere sheltered to fish and christmas hampers are better before christmas
