next Sunday the 22nd of December will be the last meet of the year, the field is very soft so we are all walking as no cars allowed. I wish to take this opportunity to wish all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Today was meant to a day of high winds, forecasted to reach 45mph, well it didn't happen, what we got was a steady 20 to 25mph with a few stronger gusts. Well at least it was dry and the wind was blowing south west direction which meant we set up at the top of the hill casting towards the gate. There was 3 members and a daycaster today and we did the best we could, top bombing goes to Stevie who finished the day with two new pbs which are also new Ulster records and he got himself a new 290yard badge. All records have to measured by tape to give a true results and its more accurate than the range finder.  Our daycaster ( soon to be a member) was Rath who is learning the pendulum and is doing well. Unfortunately we had to pack up early as some of us had family matters to attend. Thanks to all who helped with the court and measuring up.

today was our members 100g event and what a strange day it was, first of all the wind changed direction as we set up the court so a quick move to the bottom of the field was required. This meant a sloping oche and casting up and over the hill, not that often we  get a north west wind. Speaking of the wind it blew steady all day, at about 8 to 12mph, until the last 3 round when it died off completely. We had the usual craic and a few crack offs but some faired worse than others, poor Graeme had a nightmare of a day and did Tommy but he managed to pull it back at the end. Davy was the daycaster and he was trying out a new yuki rod, looks like a nice bit of fishing kit. Well done to Stevie on the win with a nice cast of 245y. Once again thanks to everyone who helped with the court and in finding the crack offs. With the recent damp weather the field has become soft so from now on only 4x4s will be allowed in.

Hi All
    Are these bearings and Charlie still around ?? if not what do people use now thanks for reply Gary from New Zealand

today was a lovely crisp autumn day, not good for casting as there was little to no wind and high pressure so distances are not great. It was good to see Stevie back casting again and he got the best cast of the day, you still got it old boy. We had a visitor today up to improve his cast, welcome Davy hope you had a good time and well done on the big jump in your cast, he ended the day on 132yards on 100g lead, using fishing gear too. as mentioned the distances were not great as some of us are recovering from injury and others had a cold but we cast on no less and had fun too. The breeze was coming in a south west direction so the oche was place at the brow of the hill and we cast down towards the gate. It was a sloping oche so swings had to be adjusted a bit to save us hitting the deck. Once again thanks to all who helped set up and dismantle the court, I appreciate the help.
