Saintly Fish Posted September 1, 2021 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.. Quote
Andy135 Posted September 1, 2021 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. Quote

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

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

The largest amount of active members with non trailered boats is in that area. Yeah, but the south right coast has better fishing. Dogfish and roker. What's not to like? Quote
Saintly Fish Posted September 1, 2021 Author Posted September 1, 2021 Just now, JonC said: Also comfortably outside my jurisdiction for any organisation duties. I had enough of that this year. Yeah the last minute stress you had by walking past your digs by half a mile must have been immense. Quote

Saintly Fish Posted September 1, 2021 Author 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

Saintly Fish Posted September 1, 2021 Author Posted September 1, 2021 So now we just need others to put forward opinions and thoughts. How about it boys and @mike farrants. Quote

This situation could be for 2 years, but the drugs are working really well so I am going to stick with it. 👍 Geoff 1 Quote
