Dee opening ceremony

I went along to the Dee opening day, most excellent fun - even though I'm a smidgen under the weather with some kind of bug at the moment  :roll Bumped into all sorts of interesting folk, managed a few pics on my camera before the damn batteries went flat  :mad

So here you go:

Before the kick off, looking down onto the pool below 'Potties'.


Andrew Flitcroft (Editor, Trout & Salmon) at 'work' taking pics:


Clive Anderson along with Ken Reid and Wilson Forbes from the 'Dee crew' prior to the opening.


Mark Bilsby does his bit:


And Clive does his bit, which was as witty as you'd expect  :z4


Clive makes the first 'cast' of the year, although by this time at least three fresh fish had been caught and released on the river:


All in, very worthwhile event. If invited, I'll be there again in 2010  :z16

Hamish,

I've man flu at the moment also. :z6
Looks like a great show! Was Mr Anderson a Hoot?

Good to hear of fish being caught.

Nice photos Hamish, thanks for that :z16

If your "bug" dies in time ...... I take it you are coming along to the River Don March with your camera and some new batteries? :wink

Cheers

I nipped into the Douglas last night and got talking to a group of chappies up from Lanacashire...all of them had taken fresh fish..so the whisky was flowing :)
