RULES 2008

After a lot of discussion and debate(heated at times) the following rules have been agreed.....
Mind you, having had time to think about last seasons little hiccups, I think we've only got two ways to go! We've either got to put the rules in concrete so people can't break them without getting thrown out, OR to encourage people to go back to our old ways of having a laugh WITHOUT having to look over our shoulders all the time.... THE SECOND WAY TO ME IS INFINATELY MORE APPEALLING THAN THE FIRST!
I also think that some of the problems occur when people arrive at the waters without consulting the water rules and are stuck with the bait they've brought! That's an easy one to stop, as all the water rules will posted on this site as soon as I've got them all! The thing is, I believe there's still plenty of ways of catching those slippery little devils, so people will have no need to find an angle to gain an extra advantage, because surely aren't we all there, JUST FOR A PLEASANT DAY OUT!
I'm positive this will all be sorted out this year, but if it don't BULTI has offered his service as Club Bailiff and vowed to cut the nuts off any offender and feed them to the fishes. (Thats if groundbait is allowed at that venue!!)
RULES

1) Everyone fishing Sundays needs to be a current member of the Pot Black Club
2) Fixture sheets will be on notice board 14 days before date. Members who fished last year can put names down one week before new season members!
3) £6 will be given to reception when name goes down.( £5 match fee +£1 Golden peg)
Water fee will be collected on day!
4) NO FLOATING BAITS.
5) No Bread!!!
6) No baits allowed in the zone 18 inches below the surface or 12 inches below the bottom of
your float.
7) 70% of match fees to be paid out to winners of that day and the rest will go towards
trophies and end of season piss-up.
8) Pre-baiting of swims will be allowed 10 minutes before start of match.
9) These rules take preference at all times but individual water rules will also apply.
(please make sure you read them)
10) Anyone caught breaking rules will be castrated (by Bulti) and then banned for 3 matches.

AFTER ALL THAT GUFF, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FART BETWEEN 12 TO 12.15PM, SHANE & KEITH KNIGHTS ARE ONLY TO SLEEP FOR HALF AN HOUR AND STEVE MOYSE CAN’T SWEAR AT HIS DAD WHEN HE LOSES HIS ONLY FISH OF THE DAY!! DEFINITELY NO PEEKING AT MY SUPA-DUPA RIGS AND HOPE DINGIT DON’T TAKE HIS SHIRT OFF!!!

FRESH WATER FISHING NEW SEASON

A new season cometh! I'm just getting the urge to get on the bank and whip your arses for the second year running!!! (joke) Several new faces have shown an interest since the end of season meeting so the fight for the limited places may be on. I think the selection of venues is better than ever but its getting a pain in the butt to get commitment from some of the people who run these waters (they arn't related to you lot?) SO IF THINGS CHANGE ON THE FIXTURE LIST, ITS NOT MY FAULT. R.U. LISTENING BOB MORRIS) The final fixture meeting is on Thursday 2oth. March at the club at 8pm. U can collect the fixtures + the new rules(for Club,water & dingit)on the night(but no shaking hands EH!)......Boycie, Ardo, Wayne(bob-nudd)moore & myself are going to the national exhibtion at Burm-ming-hamm in March so expect to see some fancy gagets on display at Colton! The Hot News is :- The skip has had loads of fishing CDS for Crimbo ie. The easy way to unhook Lips, Smart ways to put fish in keepnets! & groundbaiting with last nights Bacardi. ....... Mad Bruce has got some scuba gear & steel capped boots......... I've got 3 stamp proof top 2 sections......dingits got 1000000 ways to lose fish... Bulty's has" What is a float anyway?"... and Ardo's is taking orders for his new maggot farm.... the rest of you have been sparred this time but remember DON'T MENTION BREAD and see You all at the meeting!!!!!
