A big well done to the organisers and a cracking sum raised.
I had a good start to the day - getting 2 16 year old xbox addicts out of bed at 6.30am to go fishing is an achievment in itself.
after that everything went down hill !
Must have gone down every road in Heysham until we found the mark , after setting up I went for a wander and had a chat with Padsta tel and Sharpie , the sausage butties looked great but as the lads had persuaded me to go via macdonalds my oversized belly couldn't fit one in (the 2 kids managed one each though !)
Spent the next couple of hours watching codless reel in one fish after another while our rod tips stayed totally static.
A combination of a bad back kicking in and 2 bored teenagers forced me to finish early and attempt to get home-took a wrong turn getting out of heysham and finished up in Morecambe (the new Gerrys looks like it will be worth a visit ) then took a wrong turn in Lancaster and headed for Carnforth !
All of a good turnout and again well done to the organisers ( I know how hard it is to get these things up and running )
Kicking myself for not getting about more and putting faces to names , hopefully next time I'll get to meet everyone

Just for anyone looking in,Steve (sharpey) has already been in touch with the charity who are delighted with the sum you all raised, please have a look at his thread for updates, the money will make a difference

Oops........ Very sorry guys, one namecheck glaringly missing from my original post - Gerry's and Trev's tackle shops - for their kind donations of tackle for the prize boxes today !! Its added in there now as it should have originally been, I've probably missed a dozen other contributors but Gerry's are the site sponsor and events like this are made possible by their generousity in providing prizes,in return I know there was a LOT of talk about the new shop on Sunday and a fair few who couldn't get in due to the B/H trading laws will be back very soon for a look in.............Thanks again Sam & Gerry for sorting the main prize package
