I'll verify later in the week whether we'll do the draw once again on the Washlands Club Car Park, then drive down in an orderly manner to our pegs 

Post code is DE14 1TD

If anybody s got any idea how to fish this section of river please let me know

I've noticed Mr v n Tricast have gone quite since they've been up there

went up sat it were hard , 10 perch 2 roach 2 dace n fished pole red mag were best bait

Was there many canoes there criss?

On the Coors match on Sun 7lb 10oz won A section (pegs 1 - 9) and 6lb 10oz on B section (pegs 15 - 25)

Can I put Twink down to guest on this one tone.

Can't see a problem Col, just gorra 'firm up' the casualties first.....mind, easier said than done when some members just don't bother to let the club know they've got no intention of turning up....

Ok thanks tone,I'm goin up extention this afternoon with tez for a few hours if u fancy it

Turn it round next season and make members book in at latest one week before the match date. If they don't book in and turn up on day they don't fish.....simples

Echo some of your sentiments Mr V, but its easier to receive half a dozen texts/calls/PMS off members advising that they can't make a match, rather than 20 odd from members advising they will be there.

Why should those that hardly miss a match incur the expense of 15 tel calls just because a few members are just pig ignorant and can't be arsed....and they call themselves 'club members', club members my wobbly cheeks..

take some pictures tony i may be interested in this venue for my lot, cheers mate.

Will do Bluezulu - decent venue, park behind your peg, platforms on most pegs

Draw on car park at Washlands Club as per last year

Tricast - any chance you can 'check the pegs out' before the draw?

Suggested by Coors that we leave out 10 - 12 (opposite the canoe club)

Also suggested by T VD that we peg below the weir....

Also suggested by Yamo that we leave out the 4 pegs where pleasure anglers sometimes fish on the opposite bank.....

I've got a suggestion,book cuttlebrook instead so we havnt goto leave half the pegs out n be pestered by boats,canoes,pleasure anglers and every other Tom,dick n Harry's coming by the way.

Cuttle Brook is already on the agenda for next year


Just means I've gorra get out of the duvet 20 mins earlier

As much as I like the river up there tone it's just too much hasle. Racing boats canoes,people fishing opposite ya . I had a woman last year throwing a stick for her dog to fetch from 11am to surprise,surprise 3pm.
As soon as the whistle went so did she. A little more thought has goto go into booking better venues,people are waiting 2-3 weeks to fish a match only for their day to be ruined,no wonder nobody wants to go
Iron bridge on the seventh a suggestion plus many more we're you don't get bothered ::)

John (abuman) is up to date with all the rivers pick his brains I'm sure he could put us on the best waters

We did fish Ironbridge a few seasons ago, but my contact for that section has passed away.....mind we had our usual curse match, I won it with less than 2lb of bits

Moaning Minnie's out in force today
