Hi Mike,
              Funnily enough I was thinking about the same thing ! A plan that is , not the lack of one !

I would like to have a practise and pick up some hints and tips under Ben's watchful eye at various presentation casts eg. big and wee wiggle casts,pile ,parachute, steeple, aerial mending to the left and right, Belgian casts, change of direction casts ( incl. snake rolls ), jump roll maybe .That should keep Ben and everyone busy !!

Just thought ,maybe this has been done before ?
Not to worry . See you tomorrow.

Paul.

Yes, sorry Paul, we did all that last time!

I had a great afternoon. Much thanks to Ben for organising it
lovely to see everyone, made me feel a wee bit warmer
some great tips , thanks Will , Magnus and Ben  and a few wee toys to play with.
Nice to find out that my grass fetish has not diminished despite the proliferation
of big gun SW stuff I've been using recently. I could have played with that wee boo all afternoon
and been quite content

all good fun , now to look forward to august and some fish to throw at

    Hi Mike

       Well that was a good way to spend  a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Will,Magnus,Ben for the demos nice to meet up with some old faces and some new. Few tips to take on board.

[Kevin Muir]

I had a great day, many thanks to Ben, Will and Magnus for their assistance in identifying my faults (oh so many to cure) and for showing me / us all just how it should be done.

I will make sure that I spend a few hours each week working on my casting.  Must try to sort out a tripod and get the video on my camera set up to check on progress.

It makes you take stock of things and focus on the areas that need work, the encouragement was excellent and I have a clear(ish) plan of action to tackle each area stage by stage.  It makes you think about all aspects of casting so much more and I will probably spend many hours with Peter oven the next few months working together on similar things. 

Thanks again for giving up you weekend to help us out, very much appreciated, a great way to spend a winter day.

Looking forward the the next one, what a cracking venue.

Mike, the quality of your CDC was just great, I will place an order later today.

Kevin.

[Iain Goolager]

What a cracking place, first time I've been there.

Turned up late and spent all my time yapping. Managed to set up my rod but didn't cast it once - managed three casts of Stuarts 2wt which was pleasant.

Very pleased to see you all after what's been a seemingly long absence.

A couple of old sweats couldn't be there but the turnout was still very good.

Well done organisers and lecturers.

Safe trip home Sandy
