Finally we have agreed a new date for the Burnham comp in return for our visit earlier this year.
The date is the 9th September. The format will be as before - so meet at Baiter for booking in from 7.30am with last booking in at 8.30am. The competition will be from 9am until 4pm, with the scales shutting at 5pm.
The format is best specimen with only one fish per angler to be weighed. Min sizes as per Wesses NFSA listing. Entry will be
The "Awol" crew will fish this one 
Martin
Provisionally Fugazi will be there, but it depends on how early my flight gets in from Boston on Saturday.
Gordon H
Provisionally, Mark and I will be out.
Rich
Burnham boats will be buddied where possible / needed with a Poole boat of similar size / speed / capability.
Neo has better capability now than last time when I was buddied witha boat that had insufficient fuel, went really slow and had an anchor rope which didn't reach the bottom 
Neo will endeavour to be there, provided I am not in the USA. will be "crew hunting" again if anyone interested.
You guys have the cruelest way of excluding me from winning awt,
by arranging most comps on my working weekends.............. 
still............saves me some embarrassment
Pinning this topic as the date is fast approaching.
USA still a possibility for me and still looking for crew ( as still 50/50 I will be fishing ).
Every chance that Frisky and crew will be out and about, but I can't get within 100m of Baiter due to our 5'6" draft. Looks like we won't be able to play...
Will all wave as you all come past!
Mike
I'll have to make my apologies as well I'm afraid- will be away on a course from the 8th for 2 weeks.
C.
I'll be there....bright and early, and fishing on 'Imagine' with Richard, a mate from work.
Is it the 'usual' format with something back at the mariners or will it be weigh in and disperse at baiter ?
Paul
Mike - I suppose if you booked in first thing ,by car, you would still have a reasonable time for motoring/ sail to get on an inshore mark. Fishings from 09:00 so wouldnt be the end of the world if you didnt start till 10:00till 15:00. its just the dash from the marina for the weigh in.
logistics... logistics...logistics..
or get a lift from another boat to take you from your boat to the weigh in with your catch ?
I have to work unfortunately, so Mark will be looking for crew if Nipper is out....sorry guys!
Would have loved to defend my home leg title!!! Im sure that the mark will produce 100% for the boat again
Rich
I would love to play. I am doing some work on Stingray at present and am not 100% sure she will be ready so may need a crew berth. Do we have any indication of how many Burnham have coming?
Terry.
I would like to fish the comp. on Court Jester
However...... wifes birthday that weekend (not Sunday) but I don't yet know what she has planned for me to do / pay for etc.....
Neal
Thanks for the support guys.
Yes - Baiter for weigh in and dispersal after.
Mike - We can arrange for you to pre-book and someone to take your fish to be weighed - the same goes for anyone who has a deep draft, let me know and we will arrange to sort you out.
