For ‘several;’ years our primary focus during the winter used to be on the Kidney Pond and Inlet/Outlet at Rugeley PS. And results back then were ‘loads better’ than what we seen since I’ve switched the Grueller to the canal……………… or where they really?
AOK - no ice breaking was ever called for
………….and there was the chance somebody would ‘bag’ 
but looking back we had some ball achers 
- where ounces could the norm 
for a fair few on some matches along with DNWs 
- blowing away the perception that today’s cut weights are ‘crap’ compared to the Gruellers of yesteryear.Don’t believe me - well have a gander at some of these weights with who did what ……….
I’ll start with 2002/3………………
