What a great day for our club of six months. From 07-00am until 18-30pm,
with not a moan or complaint to be heard (we gagged George) The
lads started arriving at the 37 Club, where the majority took advantage of a
very good breakfast King Steve was collecting and sorting the
optional pool money, a good job well done, everything in envelopes and
labelled, just like you would expect from a postie.
Tony treasure collected the £5 peg fees, and Danny sat, pen poised, ready
to take down the names when the draw was made. 34 entered and
34 turned out, 34 names beside numbers, a small miracle.
So off to the lakes for setting up gear, mixing bait and all the other tasks
that fishing entails. I drew peg 33 which is in front of the chalets,
we have never fished these pegs before, so decisions needed to be made
about where to fish. I decided not to cross to the the island,
as it meant breaking down three times with the chalet behind me; so it
was 10 metres in front and the margins.
Horny toots and we got started. I was doing what I enjoy best, catching
roach, but very slowly until midday when slow became stop. On the
day a lot of fish were caught, with the best weights coming from Ruby lake, but
I think everyone caught fish.

We then went back to the 37 Club for beer, buffet, and rewards for our endeavors, everyone gets lucky. We had three smashing hampers
prepared by Gail Fry as prizes for the section winners, and three tables full
of other goodies which Marilyn Gail and Ross had set up while we fished.
After the prizes came the draw for prizes donated to the club, and I would
mention Steve Kedge (Somerset Angling) and Steve the Badger (Viaducts
Fishery)
This Sunday was not about fishing but friendship, not winning but enjoying our
sport with our mates.
I am looking forward to the next match on Wednesday 23rd December at Avalon
9-00 draw.
