Geordie pride (Charity meet)

**jarrow viking** · 23-08-2008, 21:06

Fish for the pride of your area and help a deserving cause. This one will be in aid of the Charity the Rainbow Trust http://www.rainbowtrust.org.uk/ recommended by forum member Nicky, I defy you to read this without shedding a few tears........
http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north...2703-21467491/

The match will be held at The Mesh, T.S. Kelly Sea Cadets, Hebburn on Sunday, September 21st from 1pm to 5pm.
Meet opposite Hebburn Marina boatyard from 12pm to 12.30pm for registration. This will be a measure and release match, fish to be measured and recorded must meet NFSA size limits. All Eels caught will be scored at 30cms. Two hooks maximum, children under the age of Sixteen must be accompanied by an adult.

Teams will be made up of 5 persons, centimetres caught will then be divided by 5, giving the team total.
As I have had to put a limit on the number of anglers attending this one due to venue size, twenty anglers will be invited to this one on a first come first served basis, an entry fee of £10 will be charged plus a £2 option for the longest flatfish/fish caught (Eels don't count). All money raised from the entry fee of £10 will go to the Rainbow trust.

Those I have at the moment are:

The Mackems: Capt Cod, Dangler, Mick Cave, Wilfy?, Fen, Colin Green.

The Geordies: Nicky, Jarrow Viking, Gary, Medlar, Weightmaker?, Robz, Robzdad, Danny Tee, Davey. The Geordies will be split into two teams on the day by picking names from a hat.

The Poolies: Baza, Bob C, Dabcatcher, Monkeyhinger, Whippyzippy

Directions:

The black dot is the area at Hebburn you need to get to, only half a mile from Hebburn town centre and Metro Station.

A closer look, P is for parking, F for fishing. There are only a couple of hundred yards between these two places, I will run you all along in the car.

The parking spot, I park here when I go boat fishing, it's safe during the day!

The fishing spot, remember you will need a tripod and a little care as there are no railings. Boots are a good choice as the ground is stoney, mixed with the odd muddy patch.

I look forward to seeing you all on the day, may the best team win. If you can't make it then please let me know in good time, another angler could take your place.

Tightlines Dave.

Nee probs Kosh mate,i look forward to catching up with you then

**danny_tee** · 29-08-2008, 22:34

finaaly get a chance to meet you jimmy mate

**dabcatcher** · 30-08-2008, 12:34

it looks very much like the poolies are out of this one.

at our club meeting we found out that we also have an inter club team comp on the same date, also on the tyne.

our A team is the same one that fishes in these charity events.

obviously with the exception of ... bob c.

we are also in top position in this comp and this is the final match. so it has given us a dilema. because this interclub league is relatively new i personally feel it wouldnt be right to drop out.

should circustances or dates change between now and the date for either event then i,m sure we will be straight back.

sorry and good luck.

It looks like the Poolies are out of this one, any suggestions to make up numbers?

We need 20 anglers in total. 10 Mackems versus 10 Geordies would be ideal. If you still fancy it Bob C you could possibly become an honorary Mackem for the day.

**thx_kosh** · 30-08-2008, 15:07

oh what dilemma dave just have a geordie vs mackems match and arrange a new match at few weeks after for the geordie vs mackem vs poolies vs smoogies this will give you chance to find a new venue for all of us to fish mate i dont mind coming up for this as i dont have anything set plus i am sure the other lads wont mind, just a bit more money for charity and with it getting closer to cod season might have a better chance of fish
