Andy

I'm planning to come over and share a tent with the dynamic duo. I hope I get the chance to say hello.

 

[Andy Marquis]

You will do Paul. I'll be at the registration and will be there til the end but not sure from when as I will need to get the float tin etc as am working as weighmaster at every weigh so all you need is to catch a fish or come see the boats land their fish at the evening weigh ins and shore anglers at the morning ones (generally). I might even wear my lure forum tee shirt...

 

[Andy Marquis]

Righto all...

It is confirmed I am told form a committee meeting last night. We DEFINITELY have a shore caught lure prize this year. Not sure about boat but there is definitely a shore only lure caught prize in this years festival.

A step forward. yay!!

That's some serious list of prizes, well done on amassing that lot! :clap:

 

[Andy Marquis]

I've sorted the brochure out to a more manageable size which also includes the entry form for anyone coming over to save time at the registration filling one out.

see http://www.gbass.co.uk/Festival.html. The download now comes in at 1.4MB, much better!! (Download free trial of Adobe full program and it's easy!!)

Hi Guys,

I think Paul, Liam and Gaz are making the trip over?

Kicks off next Thursday, in the island a couple of hours and I'm bombarded with stuff to get done...

 

[LiamH]

Won't be coming over this year. I'm still without a car after a couple of lovely Eastern European chaps decided to try and steal it, wrecking the steering column and transmission in the process!

I Forgot to tell the campsite I wasn't going over, they rang me yesterday and weren't too pleased about the short notice!

Gutted to be missing it, but there's always next year!

 

[Retired]

I won't be coming either.... was going to share with Liam & Gaz but since getting back from hols this week things are a bit upside down to say the least.

 

[Tim Murphy]

Good luck with your festival too Andy etc...

 

[Alex Jordan]

shame I couldn't make the Jersey Boat or this - will plan better next year!

Good luck with it all Andy - sure it will all go swimmingly

 

[Andy Marquis]

Well it all kicks off tomorrow evening.

We had the pre-fesitval meeting last night to work out weighing duty rota's (i.e. supporting me as I will be doing all the recording). It can get a bit nuts when the boats come in.

Weather isn't looking great but it's showing force 3's Saturday so I hope the boats will take part. I have a plan to go back to Mark X where I had the 5-11. A mate is heading there tonight to see if the fish are still there. You never know...

 

[Tim Murphy]

Good luck Andy

 

[Paddy]

Will probably see you you at the registration on Thursday night mate. Good Luck for the comp :-D
