A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS
FARTHER CHRISTMAS RESTING WITH HIS LITTLE HELPER
ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED AND WHAT A YEAR IT WAS AND STILL IS PROVING TO BE, CHALLENGING WEATHER PATTERNS STARTING WITH A VERY COLD START TO THE NEW YEAR, AND THEN A PERIOD OF SETTLED VERY DRY CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE LAKE FISHED VERY WELL AND THEN IT STARTED TO RAIN AND I DO NOT THINK IT HAS STOPPED SINCE, WE HAD MASSIVE TEMPERATURE CHANGES OVER NIGHT THE FISH DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON, WHICH OBVIOUSLY EFFECTED THE MATCH RESULTS.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THINGS WE HAD AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF PUBLISITY OF WHICH WE HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE, THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME WAS BEING AWARDED THE DRENNAN KNOCK OUT CUP SEMI FINAL, WE DID IT PROUD IT WAS SUPERB, THE BEST RESULTS EVER SEEN IN THE EVENT, FINGERS CROSSED WE MAY BE CONSIDERD FOR NEXT YEAR.
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK SIMON AND EDDIE FOR THE WEBSITE, WHICH HAS GONE FROM STRENGH TO STRENGH,OUR FRIENDS LIST NOW IS MASSIVE,(GLAD I DONT HAVE TO SEND THEM ALL A CHRISTMAS CARD OR BUY THEM A PRESENT)
SO FROM ME (JOHN) PAULINE AND OF COURSE OLLY WE WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.
