SHANE RUSSELL

[Lowrider]

Just a thought and it does require a big commitment from the lad.
How about raffling off a master class with him.
A days fishing on this coast where he can go though your set up,baits,tackle etc and offer advice.

[Grommit]

Great idea.

I can only ask. The worst he can say is \'No\'!!

[Charlie_Thompson]

Applaud the sentiments, Ell.........but \"sell\" to who?

People who couldn\'t make it to the event
People who made it to the event but would also like a record of it
People who made it but do not possess total recall
Any enthusiatic sea angler
Sea anglers that collect fishing dvd\'s
rayuk
People who\'ll buy any old tut for a good cause
sixfootsteve
NESA members
Passing trade

might all be interested in purchasing :P

Oops Any money raised to RNLI or a charity of Shane\'s choosing possibly

To name but a few, Ell.

Go for it, m8

[Charlie_Thompson]

I\'ll PM you Grommit re: possible video record.

[alan]

there could be a copyright issue with Shane,charity or not he might say no,excellent idea btw Ell not knocking you mate

[TC]

Good point, Alan.
If he\'s sposored by Conoflex (or indeed anybody else), there may well be an issue there.

[Grommit]

Ell

PM sent m8. I thinkit is a great idea if Shane is willing to do it. Of course you cant get me in any of the shots as I am more photogenic than shane and I would hate to steal the limelight!!

I can only ask him and see what he says

Couple of questions for you all so I can get things moving.

How many people would we realistically be looking at going

Would it be possible to arrange the NESA comp sometime during last two weeks in November and first two weeks in December and hopefully Shane can then do the prize giving.

[alan]

might be worth having a seperate thread for people thats interested in going that will keep the two topics seperate and make it easy to follow

[Grommit]

Ok, just spoke to Shane this morning

He is quite happy for the event to be videoed and any DVD/Videos produced and sold he will be more than happy for the money to go to the RNLI

Also he is willing to offer as a raffle prize a days sea fishing with him down in Wales, date and time to be arranged at a mutually convenient time. The winner will have to pay their own travel and lodging but will have a full days fishing with Shane with some cracking tips and advice.

[Charlie_Thompson]

good news on the video, hopefully it\'s ok with people attending as well. pm\'s on the way Grommit

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Noticed my name there ........

[Charlie_Thompson]

Aye you\'ve bought 7 copies already steve, marks hacked your paypal account for us.

[willywetegg]

Count me in. Now that I am back online I will be sorting a date out for our comp. Can\'t see any reason why we can\'t hold it then.

Jim.
