29th September W.Sussex/ SAS Autumn Intercounty Invitation Fun Meet

**jassyfa** · 07-08-2007, 15:38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After much agonising, soul searching, cross referencing and tide searches we're pleased (delighted? relieved? excited?) to announce a date for the friendly comp between ourselves, DAB, HHAC, TE and anyone else who'd like enjoy a fun days fishing. It will be:

Saturday 29th September on Widewater beach

This is a lot later than we would have liked but I hope you'll all agree the reasons are sound. We wanted to clash as little as possible with other events, have a good tide at the right time of day and not have too many bathers/holidaymakers getting in the way.

For those that don't know it, the Widewater is a reasonably long stretch of beach with free (that time of year at least) parking, toilets and should provide a diverse list of species to target.

The tide is a big one (6.87m) and we envisage fishing from about 10:30am to 4:30pm.

Rules will be similar (if not the same) as the West Bexington comp in April, but the emphasis is most definitely on FUN and a social occassion. We will endeavour to have some kind of catering available and there will be opportunity to meet for a beer or two later and even move onto the West Arm later in the evening for the hardcore anglers amongst you

We will update with finer details as we go, but I'd be grateful if all interested parties could stick to this ONE thread for the benefit of all and the forum. Firm confirmation of all arrangements will be posted here a week before the event should there be any need for a judicious venue change because of weather or better fishing prospects.

Any questions and I'll be happy to answer as best I can. Stick the date down in your diaries, cancel the late holidays and come and join us for what we hope will be a memorable day

If you go and look on the South Forum, Mesito has updated the thread with some further details of the SAS organised meet - breakfast before, food after, plus the pub later.

This meet is involving teams, so do we want a team essex and team kent or just a team south east. If im not working then I am going to fish it.

Good luck to everyone who attends this meet. Alas i will not be able to make it due to my daughters birthday party and my wifes birthday running side by side. going fishing on either of those days would certainly lead to divorce.

As long as you make the Deal match, I will forgive you
