Today was our 125g practice day and for once the condition where good, we had low pressure and a 20moh wind gusting to 30mph, the rain even stayed away until 2.45pm but by that time the 4 members present had done 16 casts and tiredness was setting in. Only one member managed to take advantage of the conditions and Louis broke the 220yard barrier in style with a 226yard pb, well done that man. For the rest of us the day was a bit of a disaster, between decking the slope we where casting on, snap offs and reels snarling up at the same spot each time( must pack spare reels next time) only 3 members recorded casts. once again thanks to the lad for helping with the court, its a heavy beast to carry up the field.

Results for 23/11/2025

Louis 125g = 226y PB

MC  125g = 226y

Graeme 125g = 189y

Stevie = NCR

today was our 150g lead event and we had 5 members turn up. The field was in use with sheep dog training so we had to wait until it was free before carrying the court to the top of the hill. As you guess it was a south west wind of 10-12mph with a few stronger gust, which meant setting up the oche on a slope and casting downhill. Casting on a slope takes a bit of getting used to as it knocks the step off and you go left but you soon learn to compensate and soon start casting down the court. With a light wind and high pressure we had a dry day for a change, which was very pleasant cast in, if fact after a few trips back up the hill coats came off as it got warm. Top bombing goes to Graeme who managed to gat close to a pb, just 4 yards shy but he did win with a 226y cast. Once again thanks to all for the help with the court and for future reference we will be meeting at 10.30/10.45am as the sheep dog training will be taking place.

Well its been a long while snice we been casting, with holidays, car problems etc its been a 10 week lay off, so we are a bit rusty. Given that its been 10 weeks snice we have been in a field and todays forecast is for very high pressure and a light breeze which went in a northly direction most of the day, which meant we where in the flat field for a change. Six members turned up to knock the dust off the gear. We soon had the court set up and the first few gentle rounds showed up the rust but muscle memory kicks in and soon the carbon was being bent and the leads heading up court, bit given the conditions it was tough going but Stevie did manage a 237yard cast. Today was Lins first day as a member so welcome to the club mate. Just a heads up but next meet is 150g practice day.
