2007 Presentation Night - 5th October 2007
   

They keep getting better and better!
Yes, we had our annual Presentation Night today, once again it was held at Roosters Club, Warrington.
Members, family and friends were here en masse.

We also welcomed many of our sponsors including Paul Brittlebank of PB Home Maintainance, Chris Strike, Landlord of The Maltings Pub, our 'historical home' and club meeting venue.

Our guest of honour at the event was Helen Dagnall, England Ladies International, former Ladies World Champion and she holds the current Individual Embassy Ladies National Angling Championship Title, which she won at Woodlands View in June. Helen came along with members of staff from her tackle shop, Cheshire Angling.

The evening comprised of the usual slideshow of photo's taken over the last year at matches and our other events which raises as smile. We also had background music while everyone assembled for the evenings events.

After the usual speeches, the trophy presentation took place compered as usual by our very own Paul 'Roly' Rolands, with the usual fishing banter in abundance.
Followed by our ladies prize draw then a food break, where everyone tucked into Jacket Potatoes with various fillings available, and chips and rice for good measure.

Our events continued with our 'renowned' Junior Prize Draw, where the Junior members in attendance who fished matches this year got free equipment and once again we were on the £1000 mark for giveaways.
We must thank Cheshire Angling, Dinsmores and members Paul Rowlands, Ken Whibley and Alf Smith (Our oldest member who came along this evening) for giving generously to help make this evenings Junior Prize Draw spectacular.
To finish the evening off we had various competitions including a quiz and stand up bingo, finishing with a closing speech by our Chairman Frank Davies and more music.

Thanks to everyone that came along and supported us, thanks to everyone that donated prizes. Also to those that made the night happen. We can't thank you all individually, but whatever part you played, we thank you all, and see you on 3rd October 2008 for the next Presentation Night, same time, same place....

2007 Family Fun Day - 24th June 2007 (updated 25/06/07)
   

The 2007 Family Funday took place yesterday (24th June) at 'The Maltings Pub'.
Rain showers didn't dampen the spirits of all those who came along to enjoy a great day out.
As we have said in an earlier issue of this page we had all our popular events including 'Bash the Rat', Maggot Racing, Slush the Mush, Beat the Goalie. Especially for 2007 we had three new events (actually four, but we will mention the fourth one shortly).
Giant Jenga, Giant Connect 4 and Gladiators. All the events went down a storm, then on the day of the Funday two of our laydee's decided they would do car washing in their bikini's. Now I know it was supposed to be Summer, but hey...never knock a great idea until you have tried it! We must say it was great!
In fact the day was so good, when we receive all the money in we will have raised in excess of £300 which is the highest amount we have ever got from a Funday...What would we have got if it had been a hot Summer's day!

The Committee would like to thank all members who helped set up and man the stalls. Particular thanks to all those who visited and gave us great support and more importantly their money.
Special thanks to our Landlord Chris for allowing us to take over the pub and for his donation of time and money into our event. Thanks also to his Mum Brenda and Dad Rod who worked like Trojans all day. Can we also wish Rod a happy birthday for yesterday, he was 60 (but don't tell anybody!). We can't forget all the Maltings staff who also helped, us cheers folks.

All monies raised goes to support all the matches and events that involve our Junior members, so on behalf of 50+ under 16's, thank you all.

Some photo's of the day are shown below, however if you click on the link you can see the complete day's photo gallery.

See you next year at the 2008 Funday, we will let you know when it is....
