| Re: Charity match 20/12/09 weston shore well what a cracking weekend ( sorry lee this is a bit more than just the match but bear with it It started well with a good run up to Steves on Sat eve ( who is a star as gave up his room for me, and his mum even made my sandwiches for the comp ...spot on thanks) sat night was a pre match social at Matts ( fullcreel) with his cracking chilli sausages, and my forever favourite a big roaring fire to sit round, I could have stayed for hours arround that fire with good friends and a beer     below is probably the only time steve was warm all weekend  next morning and steves woken me at 5.30 and soon after Ians here we are off on convoy on very icey road stoping off on route so some can induldge in ....(food??)  Maccie D's and eventually the pratnav gets us too Weston via its diverse route to meet the others  where we are greeted by Lee and probably the most covered raffle table i have ever seen  where i managed 3 prizes then onto the fishing , wow no more than 200yrds from car spot on again   twiddles struggling with the shelter again  and dave and twiddles pingus were reunited again   as for the day, well the fishing was slow to say to say the least but its a cracking venue , the weather stayed superb if not a tad chilly for those of lesser build than a penguin ,It was great to meet new people such as Lee and KKK ( who traveled from wales )Steve and Twiddles stuck at it but are more convinced than ever that there are No fish in the Sea !!!! I was lucky enough though to catch and although a tiddler at 11 1/4 oz come 2nd Steve has picturesfunniest moment was twiddles casting over the pipe walkway 20 feet up and over to my right The presentation has to be the most casual ever, but lee you are a star for putting this on, it was a great day had a great run home 2 1/2 hours and so tried to waste some of the bait i gained fronm twiddles/steve and ian up the estuary for and hour but the pub won( where i also found had won some wine in xmas draw, and a swift pint to round off a great weekend Thanks all for a great weekend, heres to the next one  dave __________________ www.exmouthsaa.co.uk 24 beers in a case and 24 hours in a day simples You won't know unless you go :D...and if you do go!! please let us know :D as thats how the forum thrives |

| Re: Charity match 20/12/09 weston shore I don’t have much to add to the reports, I had a great time and it was nice to meet other members of the forum. I was one of the few that blanked but I still enjoyed myself and I was glad to support a great cause. Pingus 2nd place Flounder   View of the venue from my swim  Finished the day off at the pub for an evening meal, which was lovely. I would like a HUGE thank you Lee for running the event. “THANK YOU LEE” __________________ Born to fish made to work |

| Re: Charity match 20/12/09 weston shore My self and Andy Avs enjoyed the fishing (although no actual fish to report) and meeting a few new people, just I found out that not being at all well I started to feel the cold so much that Andy had to basically had to fish for me, pity the fish never came out to play. Thank you Lee for organising the event. My B+B was very pleasent altough we did seem to be in the middle of club land and that my room was directly opposite a nice loud pub which never seemed to close until about 3am. Only took about 2 1/2 hours to get home once we found the out of southampton. It took us 3 hours to get there I think our sat nav sending us into southampton dock and then telling us to turn around (I am glad it said that cos not even I could have worked out to stop or get wet) or the wonderful one way system did'nt help |
