great white

Thanks Chris, I have been meaning to ask what happened to the Trophies from last year that were not presented, Did they go down to Andy's shop? Wendy and I were away and could not attend the Dinner Dance.

It's also usefull when friends give you info and you want to check them out away from your boat. Sometimes these are completely new marks, and at other times they are just a short distance away from known "old marks" Look at some of the club marks that you can now access. Checking them against navionics should help you see the features. Of course you could short cut all of this by bribing Members with venison, or taking up offers of trips on other boats. Charlie

I use the app quite a lot. Its amazing to see the additional details near some old marks. Just take a look at the dolphin bank or the shambles.

Thanks all Having a great birthday weekend. Happy birthday Dave. Hope that you are too.

Glad you had a good Birthday Chris Going dry probably explains why Kingfisher is not going to Alderney. Lol

They were only fishing two each, the rest are in the central racking. lol

Happy Birthday Chris. Have a great day matey

Dave Mark and Mick Enjoying the calm weathrr

Happy Birthday Kam

Good news I have sorted some accommodation. We can cancel up to 2 days before at no cost. I also phoned the Mainbrayce chandlers, they have fuel and will let us buy it at the Fisherman's rate. Just need skippers to organise the boats and weather.

Nice one Mal Thanks for report. and the great pictures

Agree with that 100% Always enjoyed Tommo's company, sense of humour and sharp wit. He did not suffer fools but was a great guy. Rest in Piece my friend after many years of ill health. Charlie and Wendy

Just to finish this one off. After a bit of discussion at the AGM, I thought I would let you know what I decided to do. Last week I went to Castle Cameras , who were very helpful and had a lot of different Bino's to handle and try. I also had a couple of sets on loan, so that I could check that they were also a good size for Wendy. This made it clear that the original plan to go for a compact pair was probably the best idea. So having decided top go for 8 x 32, which one to buy With so much assistance from the staff at castle cameras, I decided I would support them back and buy from them. The pair that I chose are Vortex Diamond backs, these seem to have good specifications and a good clear site when tested again today against other brands. The other thing that helped me decide is the lifetime warranty that includes any accidental damage, and back up from a fairly local shop. They will spend plenty of time on boats in my grab bag, [After our holiday in September] so I expect that to be a sensible precaution. Thanks for all of your comments and advice Charlie

sent in PM Steve

Thanks Jim Bit busy at work and could not remember the recently changed google password, Need to ask Wendy later .Lol

As That works I suppose the answer is yes. Found it on youtube, copied link. went on this thread and pasted. Simples.😄

Hi Jim/Steve Can existing youtube videos be added easily? If so is that an admin job or can we do it?

Thanks Mal, Congratulations on being voted in as Chairman. I am sure you will do a great job. A very good AGM, followed off by a very interesting InSite into International match angling tactics. Having fished with Mike Fox recently I can certainly say that these guys put huge efforts into rigs, tactics and bait preparation/ use. Charlie

Well done and huge thanks Tony 13 years at the helm, after I believe 12 as the Club Secretary, so 25 continuous years on our Committee. I hope that you and Lorraine now get more time to enjoy your retirement and make good use of the camper. If you ever fancy coming fishing with me on Alfresco, please give me a call. Cheers Charlie and Wendy

Thanks Steve, Nice fish Jerry😄

Just watched this podcast Goes a bit deep and is Vortex biased, but if you are interested it explains what changes over their ranges

Happy Birthday Tony I hope that you are doing something nice and enjoying retirement.🍷🍷

Thanks Terry At the moment I have just been trying to get Mel at the Bon Jour
