Hi Ben
New toys ..... cool

The Garioch Sports Centre in Inverurie is booked and paid for

As long as the current 12 folk turn up on the day, the cost per person will be £11 ( this would go up on the day by approx £1 for each person that does not turn up / or will come down by approx £1 for each person that increases our numbers above 12 )

Best wishes
Mike

Hi folks

Not long to go now ....... cool

For those that haven't been there before, the Garioch Sports Centre in Inverurie is easy to find. Coming off the roundabout in to Inverurie at the top end of the A96, you'll pass the police station on your right and have Morrisons supermarket on your left, when you reach the next roundabout the first exit goes in to morrisons and the petrol station, take the second exit which goes in to Burghmuir Drive and the sports centre is a couple of hundred yards on your right. Opposite the old I&K Motors site (which they now use for servicing) and the Strathburn Hotel. The sports centre has a website at http://www.gariochsports.co.uk/

As per the last Outcasts Gathering, please do not bring all your tackle with you ..... we do not want anybody losing/dropping flies or hooks in an area that other folk will be using! Just bring rods and lines that you would like to try on the day, plus leader material and some wool to tie on the end

It would be nice to get some videos, if you have digital camcorders?

Peter and Ben, have you guys thought about a couple of games we can try, with the hoops etc?

I'm looking forward to Saturday

Cheers
Mike

I'm assuming the centre will have stands that hold badminton nets etc that we could use to tie hoops on or even use for limboing under Mike. Can you check please??

I hadn't thought about that Peter, I was thinking about the hoops simply being on the floor for some reason

If I get a chance over the next couple of days I'll nip in and ask them. Are any of the games easier to set up on a floor rather than hanging hoops? I can't remember

Cheers

Mike

Are they fussy about footware on the sports floor? Some games halls insist you change your shoes so you don't bring muck and grit in from the street.

Good point, Ill bring some clean shoes

« **Reply #60 on:** 08/01/2009 at 20:15 »

Good point Irvine

Nothing was mentioned when I booked, but yes, clean trainers etc would be the best footwear please and we hopefully shouldn't need jackets, scarves or gloves

Not long to go now .....

Hi folks

Anybody got any thoughts on what they would like to practice tomorrow? I would like to do more work with my double hauling and keeping in control of a reasonable amount of line in the air

Cheers
Mike

« **Reply #68 on:** 09/01/2009 at 20:22 »

We normally try to get our backs to the wind, what do you think it is going to be like casting indoors without any wind?

Cheers
Mike

« **Reply #69 on:** 09/01/2009 at 20:58 »

Mike,
I'd like to expand on /re-assess my double haul so that I can try and work on my tracking, casting arc, timing, drift and carry (for a start

). That said, anything is going to welcomed - new casts, trick or otherwise, accuracy stuff.......anything.

can't wait

the last time I was fishing I found myself throwing some tailing loops. so someone to look at that would be cool. Also wouldnt mind being taught some special casting for limited casting areas. Like the loopy thing magnus showed us. anyhting like that, I remember he did some cobra thing also!

Yes Cameron, learning to control your line in close range like that, it has so many uses on the river and on a wee loch too

Great stuff

You've got the idea

My mate Martyn is really looking forward to some help with his casting. As ive been teaching him and I find it so hard to explain things!

« **Reply #74 on:** 09/01/2009 at 21:44 »

At least ,the only way is up
