April Meeting and Fish In News

This months meeting will be on Tuesday 1st April at the Papermakers as usual
We haven't got a speaker this month, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a two part meeting this month.
The first half will be in the form of a Piking Panel, similar to the format that they use at the PAC conference. Three of our most experienced and successful pikers will be on hand for you to quiz in whatever way you see fit on all subjects pikey!
Our experts for the evening will be
DAVE HORTON : BILL PALMER : JOHN SYNNUCK




So if there's anything you'd like to know, ranging from how to make a trace, to how Dave manages to catch huge pike from a bucket of water! then this is your chance!

The second half of the evening after the food and beer and fag break will be a Bring and Buy sale
If you have any tackle that is surplus to requirements, then bring it along and someone may wish to take it off you hands for a paltry sum

7.30 onwards. Members £2.50 Non Members £3.50.....buffet included!

END OF SEASON FISH IN at Darenth Big Lake : Sunday 30th March

*****DON'T FORGET THE CLOCKS GO FORWARD AT 2AM SUNDAY MORNING*****

The fish in will start at 7am, so if you can arrive around 6.30ish to get the money and draw for the walk off sorted that would be good.
Directions to the lake can be found here

www.darenthbiglake.com

We will meet in the fenced compound on the left as you drive into the lake complex
The day will cost £10 per angler (PAC members get a 50% subsidy paid for from the regions funds)

See you Sunday

Emerald Isle Extravaganza

A superb talk tonight by Phil and Mark. Phils claims of nervousness on his first ever talk didn't show at all as he delivered an excellent presentation on his and Marks many successful trips to Ireland. Phils enthusiasm for the virginal fishing that he and Mark, along with "The Pikers", Roy and George have experienced, shone through in every aspect of his talk tonight...along with some fantastic bags of fish, some cracking photos, and a few tall tales from the locals.....Phil left everyone tonight waiting in eager anticipation for the second part of his talk.." The Winter Sessions"...to be aired later on this year...Well done mate, excellent job all round
