        Thames Match – Windsor Wednesday 21st September
        After running this match at Runnymede for years we are going to be trying a different venue for 2011 and will be using the Old Windsor stretch at Home Park in Windsor.

        As always this match is not confined to one forum and is open to members of MFS, TF, the customers of Davies Angling and anyone else that wants to fish it. It will be run by Big Steve (Rowland), Clive (Slut) and I’ll also be giving a hand.

        The match will be on Wednesday 21st September – draw and fishing time to be announced. After the match Steve will open the clubhouse in Home Park for an after match drink – unfortunately there will be no food available.

        If you are going to fish this then please let us know by adding your name here. Davies Angling will also be collecting names and I’ll update those nearer the time. Cheers – Ricky Baxter.

                                          About 35 but we won’t fill it midweek !

                                            Steve you wont get 35 on homepark, are you going to use the island as well then?

                                              Mick you’d easily get 35 on Home Park with at least 15 yards each. We’ve already pegged 29 and that’s without the space currently being used by the EA for their equipment compound whilst they’re working on the weir !

                                              If we needed 35 though I would include the meadow pegs just the other side of the railway bridge.

                                              Ideally we’ll end up with 20/22 which would be just about perect for the Home Park leaving out a few that have narrow platforms or trees in the way.

                                              Definitely won’t be on the island though as it’s been stolen from under our noses by this Eton Fisheries bloke who wants people to pay £100 a year to fish the Thames !

                                                      ah now you know I wouldn’t miss it even although I’ve run short of leave this year but I do want to see jwb to find the dates of the Oxford WL matches this year.

                                                      I’ve not fished Home Park in years but I think we ought to dare Steve to put the ‘The Stakes’ (Bream) and ‘The Beach'(Chub and Barbel) pegs above the railway bridge in……… 😉

                                                      Now the questions/answers:

                                                      Steve: I’ll contact Stu (Angel) a bit nearer but I think at the very least you can guarantee John T. will be on for it. I’ll mention it to the Twyford (midweek) crew but they already have one arranged the same day so not sure there.

                                                      Mark: What date is the Mole Champs this year?

                                                      Mickyd: Are we having a Medley bash this year?

                                                            I think you’d call me a few names if you blanked there Roy, unfortunately they’re not the pegs they used to be [been hammered by the night-fishing, fish-eating types] whereas the Park is very even fair fishing at the moment.

River was almost still apart from lock movements so let’s hope for a bit of rain before the 21st. One angler lost 2 big fish in the weeds [Bream he reckons] on the pole at 11 metres.

Breakfast done by 8:15. So an 8:30 draw and fish 10-4 (6 hours as I’m taking a day off work)

Keep going past the tennis courts as far as you can go before the car park ends. If the man at the council is nice I will have a key to let us through to the riverside, if not then we’ll use that car park which is only 100 yds from the river anyway and costs £2.80 for the whole day. We’ll do the draw at the riverside itself right behind peg 1 which will be by the railway bridge. It’s a nice flat walk for trollies from the car park to the river and the same for walking to all the pegs.

                                                                                              Please make sure your mates bring waders or at least wellies as some pegs will be in the water [not deep though].

Gives people time to set up without rushing. By the time we do the weigh in and back to the clubhouse for the payout and a drink the rush hour will be over so people will have an easier journey home.

                                                                                                                                Even though it’s blowing a ‘hooly’ it wasn’t too bad there as the wind was from the South and therefore off your back and a lot of the strength was dissipated by the fact that the bank behind you is very bushy and there’s a line of trees further back.

                                                                                                                                I reckon at least half the pegs will require wellies and some will need waders if you wish to go further out as the shallows are quite extensive in places.

                                                                                                                                    2] Has anyone got some decent scales they can bring along, the more we have the quicker we weigh-in ?

                                                                                                                                    3] We won’t be allowed to drive right down to the river so it’s a pay & display job about 100 yds from the draw. The cost for all day is £2.80 [Runneymeade is £6 a day now apparently !] and the machines do not give change so make sure you have the right money with you.

He will open earlier next Wednesday for us and all bait orders will be ready on the counter for collection and payment.

                                                                                                                                                He can’t fish now as has to cover for someone else in the shop but is also lending us a extra set of Match Scales.

                                                                                                                                                Updated list is now at 32 names so anyone else will have to go on the reserve list for now as we are capping it at 32. So far I have not been notified of any other cancellations so hoping for a full turn-out we’ll see.

                                                                                                                                                Please be at the fishery by 8.45am at the latest and as Steve says you will need £2.80 for parking in the correct money – this is for all day. The match will be fished from 10.30-4.30pm

                                                                                                                                                  It sounds like most people are getting there well before the draw to miss any potential traffic problems so if you want to get on with the draw and pull one out for me in my absence then I’m easy with that as long as we stick to 10.30 – 16.30 fishing times – we need everyone to know one way or the other what we’re doing though so a decision by Sunday night everyone please !

                                                                                                                                                  Rick [HD], I think we’ll close it there at 32.

                                                                                                                                                  POOLS – I suggest the following but it’s open to negotiation.

                                                                                                                                                  £15 all-in. Pays top five – £130, £100, £70, £50, £30 plus 4 section winners of 8 per section @ £25 each [NO DEFAULT SECTIONS THOUGH]. I BELIEVE IF YOU PAY SECTION MONEY YOU SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO WIN IT !

                                                                                                                                                  All of the above figures will change if anyone drops out on the day of course !

Hathers and I will get the draw organised for an 8.45-9am draw with fishing times as specified. I have told everyone to be there by 8.45 anyway.

                                                                                                                                                    Suggested payout is fine with me – is there a day ticket fee for Old Windsor on top of that?

                                                                                                                                                        If that’s the general consensus then we’ll go with it, 9 out of 32 will then have recovered their pools and some bait I suppose – has always struck me as strange though paying into a pool you’re not allowed to win if you’ve had a good day and framed !

                                                                                                                                                        Rick [HD], if you and Hathers want to start the draw in case I’m late that’s one less hassle for me. I’ll ring you on the morning once I’ve pegged it to let you know how I’ve done it.

                                                                                                                                                        Herbie, I think the Top 20 will be the best bet for breakfast as they’re open from 6.30am. I’ll get some directions or a postcode over the weekend.

The bigger fish ie Chub, Bream and Barbel have been coming out to night fisherman so we know they’re there – maybe the 4.30 finish might see a few lumps make an appearance.

                                                                                                                                                              The river itself is running clear with a slight flow and that’s not likely to change unless it rains non-stop from now until the match.
