steetley meet with prizes

**pigeon ian** · 02-03-2007, 23:04

right guys had an idea anybody fancy organising a meet for steetley pier ??

if we can get a meet sorted for mid-end march we could have a bit of a comp between forum members ..........i am prepared to put up some prize money if we get it off the ground ,,,,,say £100 ........so just turn up for a few hours fishing in daylight and go home with a bit of cash in your pocket .........you could even put up £1 a member and add it to prizes ...........

just a thought ....

look forward to your replies .......good idea ??? bad idea?????
please be gentle .....lol

Great idea P.I. but is there not a better venue? I dont relish leaving my car in that area, unless anyone can tell me where it's safe to park.

I think it's a great idea Ian

but £100 out of your own pocket is maybe a bit much don't you think?

Why not charge anglers £10 to enter on the day and then pay out the entrance fee as prize money? There should be a fair few interested in that. Also the only problem I can see is that everyone will want to fish the very end of the pier where the best catches come from, unfortunately there's not a great deal of room for anglers here, maybe ten at best?
Do we ban people from the end or draw pegs?

As I say this is a good idea, let's get our heads together and get this one arranged.

I will do my best to make it.

We now have a part of the forum that is dedicated to meets and charity events, this is near the top of the page.
I will leave this post where it is for a couple of days until our members get used to the new forum style and then move it to the correct part of the North East forum at a later date. J.V.

i'v never been to steetly but have heard a lot about the parking issues...i wouldnt feel settled leaving my car there either...is there not anywhere close where would be suitable to park and walk to the pier?

i think its a great idea but as people have said the mark is a little bit on the iffy for parking if we made the comp a little later on could have some great fun flatty bashing maybe go of the total length of fish to save killing them?
