In an attempt to get “a flying start” of next winters activities, and also introduce a few events thro the coming summer, a meeting is to be held on 10-04-2008 at the “Legion” at 8pm.
We would like to determine if there is sufficient interest in the following:- General Club shirts or a club badge to attach to a vest or shirt. This subject has been aired, but we need to make a decision. At the moment, shirts from John Norris (ref no 2968) have been suggested. Summer Bug Hunt, possibly led by Messrs Calvert and or Croft. Fishing day on Chatsworth Estate guided by Philip White approx £60 per head 8 rods max. A days fishing on the Tweed, with our own Stuart Wardle, to find out where and how to fish this river. A days fishing on Lockwood Beck reservoir. Autumn Grayling Day, Date & Venue to discuss, probably early November to take advantage of the, hopefully, milder weather.
