Hi All,

For those of you who don't read Sexyloops, the annual Scottish Gathering takes place this coming weekend, Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th May 2013 at Strathdon.

We will be casting on the Lonach field both days and have access to the adjoining stretch of river by kind permission of Richard Marsh.

There will be a couple of distance shootouts on Saturday and Sunday and on Sunday afternoon there are usually a few demos.  These gatherings bring together some of the best angling, casting and instructional talent from all corners of the world.  We all learn a lot from each other each year it apart from knowledge gained, it is always extremely good fun.

Prizes for the shootouts have been kindly provided by Mike Barrio & Paul Arden and there will be a prize each day for the highest placing non instructor however, non instructors can win overall.

Always a great weekend, I hope to see some of you there.


Cheers

Ben

Shame about that Allan you missed a really good day, casting, demo's, chat and laughs. It's amazing what you can learn just from watching some of the worlds best casters doing their thing. 

A big thanks to Ben for organising the weekend
