If you are coming down the A423 from Southam then take the first left off the A423 after the Clattercote turning towards Cropredy and turn right at the bottom of the road at a T junction and then follow the road into Cropredy until you see the pub on your right.

If you are approaching from Banbury turn right at a sign I think for Great Bourton and Cropredy.Go through Great Bourton and follow the road into Cropredy.Bear left at the bottom and the pub will be on your left.

[Peter Jacobs]

Oi Woody . . . . fish identification was never your strongpoint, was it.

Perch, my eye, thats a chub!

Note to Kevin,

Blue and green is so last year!

Take a leaf out of Fred's book, dayglo orange for this year . . . . .

 

[Fred Bonney]

If it's going to be wet and windy as usual,I will be wearing dayglow again!!/forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

Definitely a perch. The robin sat on it thought it was too until Kevin caught it.

 

[Kevin Perkins]

So, it appears I have to take sartorial advice from Mr Jacobs, althoughI suppose with him having lived in Paris for so long that some haute couturemust have left its mark on him.Or was it that he left his mark on some haute couture.........

I will have to dig out my Barbour Northumbria jacket for thisseason's parade down the fashion runway that is theClattercote boardwalk. I'm surprised my choice of tonsorial cover hasn't attracted the wrath of Mr Clay's milliner, and I will confess that those aren't Ray-Bans either. (Although what I was doing wearing sunglasses at Clattercote is anyone's guess....)

I will try not to make so many fashion faux-pax this year and concentrate more on my blanking, it is what I am best at after all.

And I still saythat perch was the biggest I have ever landed........!!!

 

[Wolfman Woody]

(Although what I was doing wearing sunglasses at Clattercote is anyone's guess....)

Should have said you "were fishing <u>Incognito</u>"!

Might have got a free spool of line for dropping the name in there. /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif I guess I might get it now! /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

 

[Nigel Connor(ACA ,SAA)]

Breakfast and presentation arrangements all confirmed by the pub.£5 a head for the breakfast.

I should have added that the after match refreshments( though sadly but understandably not the ale) will be provided by Fish and Fly.

 

[Graham Whatmore]

Mr Marsbar always buys the first round, did you forget that Nigel?

ONLY if you let him win the match!

I'm using bare hooks again, it's worked in the past.

 

[Nigel Connor(ACA ,SAA)]

Don't forget that if anyone wants breakfast who hasn't already let me know needs to do so ASAP.

I will contact the bailiff to see what pegs we have.Hopefully the usual.

 

[Neil Maidment]

Have the little darlings spawned yet? Or are they waiting for the our day?

Only when I win, so if you want free ale for the first round this year you'll have to let me win again. Any other winners are too tight.

And they call me McWallet!
