thats the point mate if i wasnt on NESA i wouldnt know the rules ect it doesnt cost much to print these out on a single piece of paper

Point taken for the future. Please see below.

All of the tackle shops with pre registration had a copy of the rules for reference. The flyers all had my number on for competitors to ring and clarify any points. All the shops knew to direct competitors to NESA for a rules list. You don't have to be a NESA member to view the forums so if directed to the site you could find the rules.

I appreciate a little extra effort would have provided a set of rule each. Between 5 tackle shops we only had 29 anglers pre register. I would have provided 50 sets of rules per shop as you never can tell how many will fish. They spare would be thrown away as the rules change each year due to times of comp and weigh in.

There is no financial gain to the club from this match in fact the club runs at a loss each year from it. All the entry money is all divided up and a small amount taken from each prize as a donation to Blyth Lifeboat who will receive £30 from yesterdays competition. The club funds purchase the Junior prize and juniors entry is free to encourage the younger anglers into the sport

The competition is to remember a much respected member of Blyth Sea Angling Club and yesterday was the 17th time we have ran the competition. It has been difficult over the years to keep the competition going when club membership has been very low and all the organising and work involved still has to be done. Due to the efforts of the chairman and previous secretary there has never been a year missed.

The reason the competition is run in this manner is to keep it going with the minimum of effort.

Thanks to all who fished yesterday and supported the competition, the tackle shops for pre registering and The Ridley Park Hotel for their. support and continuing use of the venue.

Well done to Chris, Peter and Ian and also to both juniors who weighed in Craig and Robert.

Secretary Blyth SAC
