I believe that this subject has been discussed at Meetings and by Committee many times. We have even tried Sat comps without any increased turnouts
Perhaps its time to put up a poll again, to see what Members think.
It is a tough one trying to please Members while working with forecasts and changing weather.
IMHO it is not one that Neal should have to answer on his own.
There are a few other things to consider, the main one being safety.
Charlie
Fingers crossed to get out again at the weekend.
Personally I don't/can't fish the comps because I have to work weekend.
Just as an idea knocking round, what about a bigger window say sat and sun but member only allow to fish 1 nominated day?
This will give a slightly more flexibility to busy members who can and want to get out.
I'm not against it Kam, but it would give a big advantage to anyone able to get out mid-week.
Needs to be discussed by people who fish the comps and hope to win.
I don't expect to win so not affected so much.
It's just good to get out.

Jim, Kam is recommending Sat and Sun as per my suggestion.
Pick your day before you go. Yes, sometime someone might pick the wrong day and get weather that wasn't forecast - but that is just luck!
I just think that it could:
1: double the attendance if weather on both days was fishable
2: save a postponement if one day is ok and one bad

Was he ? I miss-understood.
I don't mind spreading it over a couple of days.
It's just good to get out and about.
