Saintly Fish Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Ok, so after the success of this years meet I think its time to open discussions about next years get together. So, lets here your thoughts and suggestions. And also lets try and gauge an attendance number. I know its early days, but best to get organised. Venues and dates ideas welcomed. Please bear in mind that if you suggest a venue, you may be asked to do the arranging, or atleast help out with knowledge and contacts. Over to you..

Andy135 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Couple of suggestions for location. 1. Bristol Channel 2. Dorset/Devon (Weymouth to Dartmouth area) We have members with knowledge of these patches and there's plenty of places for accommodation. Plus the fishing is good.

Yes, but for us to take our own boats (those that don’t trailer) we need to be closer to home. Dorset doable. Bristol Channel a far ask. This is supposed to be an Outlaws meet of those with boats, not a “charter trip”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but we'll never be able to offer everyone the chance to use their own boat on each annual meet, so some of us will have to either take their own boats or simply travel and hop aboard the boat of a more local member. Given we had a Solent meet first time out it seems fair that the Solent members do the travelling this time and let other members use their own boats on their own (or near to their own) patches.

Yes I don’t disagree with that. The problem being is that the solent has the highest concentration of active members with their own boats. If another area that can cater for 12 or more people on other active members boats is available then let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 For me the south/south left coast is the logical place to have a meet. The largest amount of active members with non trailered boats is in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Also comfortably outside my jurisdiction for any organisation duties. I had enough of that this year. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Poole harbour as a base gets my vote. We could tempt @mike farrants, @DINOBOY and @GPSguru to travel up. To name just a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know why @Andy135wants to have a meet in Brighton and it’s nothing to do with fishing.

The fishing in the Thames has been great this year for normal people. Micky has consistently had double figure hounds week in week out as well as plenty of bass.
