The pre-season meeting will be held at The Windmill pub, the same venue as the AGM, on the 12 April 2010 @ 8pm.
The plan is to run through the fixtures for the 2010 campaing, go over the club rules so we are all aware what is expected and also give members to opportunity to suggest venues for 2011.
The pre-season meeting will give members who have yet to pay, the opportunity to pay their club subs and match fees up front if they choose to.
See you there.

AGM CHANGE OF VENUE
The Black Bull has closed, its a long story, and its unlikely to reopen for at least 8 weeks.
The AGM will now be held at The Windmill, in Somersham, this was our old HQ.
The Windmill is on the main road out of Somersham on the way to Pidley on the left hand side at the junction between the B1086 & B1089.
Date and time have not changed.
We will be in part of the restaurant, the conservatory, this has doors and can be closed off. Monday nights are usually quiet in this pub so can we keep the noise down and watch the language. This is a bit last minute but the Black Bull only closed last Monday.

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.
