Just a quick update for those who don't attend the meetings
We are well underway with the preparations for Novembers Open Boat Comp.
There is a lot to do which is why we start early. We also to need to secure venues,advertising and sponsorship as soon as practical.
This is our biggest fundraising activity as well as being an excellent way to promote the Club.
This years event is going to be biggest yet!
Weve already got several of the Charter Boats booked in 
One of the keys to our success in previous years has been the level of sponsorship weve had which provides us with a very attractive prize table.
We do need as much help with this as possible so if anyone knows a business that can donate prizes, goods or services we would be most grateful.
In return they will be mentioned on the website and on the day, we do also recommend our sponsors to the membership as a preferred supplier.
please contact me by pm or email if you can help
Thanks

Paul, Poindesters in southampton, Bells Tackle store in Hythe, and Tight Lines In Totton all have posters displayed. I will approach all three for sponsorship, possibly in the form of tackle vouchers, that way they get the sale back.

Hi all,
We are looking for a gazebo or other type of shelter for the competition.
This is to provide cover for the registration and weigh in if it's pouring with rain.
Does anyone have anything suitable that we can borrow for the day?
Cheers
