Apologies for the delay with this report everyone, and a big thank you to Graham for his speedy editorial work.

A superb weekend all round. Well done to the PAC boys for a great day and to Pikey for a cracking PB.

Dicky and Paul,

Thanks for coming along to support us and for the write-up and pictures.

Good to see a few other FM'ers there - Gary, Eric, Barrie who's looking a lot better these days, Colin Brett, Dave Lumb etc etc.

A lot of work goes into these events and it's always good to know people have enjoyed it.

Next year's plans are already on the agenda, 99 per cent certain it'll be the same venue.

Hey, good work.

Nice write up and someone's managed to make my photos look presentable too!

I'm really glad that one of me power-napping came out ok... [img]/forum/smilies/eye_rolling_smiley.gif[/img] [img]/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif[/img]

Paul, I knew you were related to Speci [img]/forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif[/img]

Sounds like a good show Dicky and a great write-up too. I've been getting some serious pressure to join the PAC lately, I think it's just a case of "when" not "maybe" now......

Good stuff guys, Barrie looked well and Barnie was glowing.............

Have you lost some weight Chris?

Oi!

Watch it Brissle boy, there's a line you know, and your toe's poking over it!

Just wait until my back gets better...

I'll show you how to catch some big fish for a change.

Chris,

This year's line-up will be a hard act to follow. Derek Macdonald was inspirational and I think I learned more about predator angling chatting with Michel for 15 mins than I have done in the last five years!

Steve,

Joining the PAC isa no-brainer mate, top bunch of people! Shall we have a crack at Chew this winter?
