LAKE UP DATE DEC. 26th
The temperature on arrival at the lake at 8.45 today was minus 9deg, The lake is covered in a 2 1/2 in layer of ice. I managed to get the aerator working in front of the office but not the one in the small lake. So i have decided to cancel the thought of any open tomorrow and go for an open on Wednesday, they have promised a big thaw on Tuesday so hopefully Wednesday will be ok. please let me know if interested.
19th Dec 2010. Hard man contest at the Lake…
A bit frosty down the lake
As the winter league match was cancelled John ran a little open for anyone brave or stupid enough to get to the lake today. š
Kev Dolton (camera man, thank you) John Bennett, Steve Water and Frank Hardie braved the minus 9 conditions to try and catch some fish. Everyone caught some bits and a good laugh was had despite everyone been freezing cold.
Here are a few pictures Kev took today for those who have not seen them on Facebook.
Brave or Stupid, you decide š
Steve Waters. Least his head looks warm
Kev risked life and limb to get this shot
Oh no poor Eddie has frozen solid š
Kev, man on the camera
Frank Hardie loving it
John Bennett Only came today to test out his new 4x4

Many Thanks again to Kev Dolton for the use of the pictures. Nutters, all of you !!! Wish I could have been there though š
IMPORTANT. Match 4 Cancelled !!
Match 4 of the winter league has had to be cancelled sorry. This is due to dangerous driving conditions caused by yesterday and today’s snow.
Sorry for the short notice but we cannot control the weather. John would rather be safe than sorry as health and safety is always high on his priorities.
If you read this could you spread the word to people that do not have access to the internet.
There will be an open for those that can make it to the lake safely. Draw is at 9.30am.
John will meet with everyone at the next match on the 2nd Jan to discuss adding an extra match on the end of the series, depending on if people are free to fish and have not made alternative plans.
Once again sorry for the inconvenience.
