My thanks to Steve Andrews for the notes to this meeting as I’m currently on the other side of the globe.
We had a great turnout for the regular monthly meeting (future meetings 7pm on the first Tuesday of every month in the Marina Bar) with 22 members present. It’s a great opportunity to catch up on fishing news, chat with mates and meet new anglers. All members welcome of course!

Fish Of The Month was awarded to Darren Price for a Pollack of 15lb 14oz which deserved the prize, even if it was the only fish entered.

The next event will be the Bream Open Competition on 7th May. Fishing 8am to 6pm, last weigh-in 6.30pm and presentation of prizes in the Marina Bar at 7pm. You can sign in at the Marina office in person on the day, or online which has a small booking fee.

Our annual SMAC BBQ has been pencilled in for Saturday 3rd June so save the date! Partners and families welcome, free food and bring your own drink.

At the next meeting in May we will be discussing a proposal for a club outing. This could be an overnighter fishing for sole, or maybe a weekender to Brighton. Other ideas welcome!

NOTE DATE CHANGE FOR MAY MEETING: The next meeting will be at 7pm on Wednesday 10th May in the Marina Bar.
