OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS< PAST AND PRESENT
SUNDAY 27th NOVEMBER 2011
DRAW 8.30am
I am organising a match with a difference.
Did you know that as well as carp, Beastie lake at the Decoy complex is stuffed full silvers including barbel, a recent skimmer explosion and a good head of quality roach.
The match will be fished 10.00am to 3.00pm with only silvers to be weighed in. All carp, if caught, need to be put straight back including F1’s.
Once I have the numbers, I will then try and organise a cost effective Xmas meal close by.
It would be great to see members past and present as well as any of your friends if you wish so if you have the mobile number/e mail address let them know!!
I do need to know numbers ASAP. Keith, if you need a lift let me know. Stuart, could you talk to Burug? Pete, would Barry come?

Fur & Feather, 12 Dec 2010 @ Factory Bank
I have booked the fur & feather, it will take place on Factory Bank, Ramsey.
I can here some of you moan but if you dont like it you can book it next year!
On a positive note the place is fishing its tits off, most of the pegs have been dredged out with the depth now up to 5ft, recent matches have been won with 16lb + and you need at least double figures to frame. As always it will be down to the weather so fingers crossed.
Date,Sunday 12th December, draw at 8.45 fish 10 to 3.
15 pegs have been booked and they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Let me know if you want to bring a guest.
For those members that dont know this venue it is a drain, full of roach, there are more skimmers about this year with the chance of a slab or a decent tench. Pike are sometimes a problem in the early pegs, there is also a chance of a decent perch. If there has been a bit of rain it will be running so bring a selection of rigs.
Worm, and caster for the bigger fish, otherwise groundbait pinkie and mag for the Roach with the possibility of stamp Roach on hemp across.
Steve G, you need to send a cheque to Keith Rayment, 27 Princess Street, Ramsey, Cambs, PE26 1JW. Cost 15 pegs at £3.00 = £45.00. Can you email me to let me know you have sent it please.
I will book the Lion at St Marys for the after match dinner so can you let me know if you will be fishing and if you want dinner. I assume the club will be helping towards the cost.
I am not psychic so please reply.
I hope some of you will make the effort to attend, it would be nice to see some faces that have not managed to fish a match this year
I look forward to your replies
Ron

Fur & Feather, Old Nene, Ramsey St Marys - 6 December 2009
8 members and one guest fished this years Fur & Feather on the Old Nene at Ramsey St Marys.
The three contenders for the Champtionship, Ray, Trev & myself drew on pegs 2, 3 & 4 respetivley. Guest John Pierrepont was on peg 1, Martin on 5, Weasle 6, Ron 7, El Presidente 8 & AT Tony was on end peg 9, just to the right of the 'Wires'; a noted area for bonus fish.
As we set up in atrocious conditions, Ron decided he wasn't going to take any more and opted to have a days fishing at the relativley sheltered Factory Bank just around the corner. This left Weasel and El Presedente with a spare peg to one side. The wind and rain eased in good time for the start of the match and the conditions were relativley pleasant for the rest of the day.
With the bonus fish proving elusive for many of those who were targeting them, most of the lads opted to concentrate on fishing for the abundance of small fish in the venue. John, Ray & I spend the majority of the day fish to hand at 4m with myslef making a switch in the last hour to my hemp line which brought a dozen or so better stamp roach. Trev opted to fish top 3 to hand as any other line he investigated was full of snags. AT Tony on end peg 9 did pick up a couple of bonus Perch of 1lb 8oz and 1lb 6oz.
AT the weigh in John on peg 1 weighed just under 6lb. Ray on 2 had 9lb 2oz which I was sure to be enough to win. Fortunalely for me my net of fish went just under 10lb. Trev weighed in 7lb 15oz, with AT Tony landing the only other 7lb weight of 7lb 14oz.
As a result I just pipped Ray to the Winter League by one point and secured the Championship for the 3rd time in 5 years. Along with the Summer League title won earlier this year it has been a good year for me. I have been lucky in the draw bag and I hope this luck continues next year as I look to defend all 3 titles!
Fur & Feather, Top 4
1st - Jonty 9lb 15oz
2nd - Ray 9lb 2oz
3rd - Trev 7lb 15oz
4th - Tony 7lb 14oz
See you all at the AGM on 22 February 2009

P.S. The food in The Lion this year was really good, there was plenty to go round and it would certainly get my vote for next year.
