Neil,
Sounds like your fishin was a great succsess, i have to say after 20 or so years of fishing with a very small group of friends (or alone) that these socials are a great leveler and great fun!
Looking at the list of RMC waters i think you are on for a few good un's!!! (not to happy about the stillwater barbel mind!but we will see)
If you and your crew ever fancy inviting one or two from SWAG.....i have curry refrences!!!!
