Hope Castle 4th April 09

A well attended end of the year bash was had by all, the fishing was secondary to the crack although there was a 16lber and a 12lber caught along with one boat of outstanding fishermen who managed to get 6 fish in, all fish were coaxed by lures, it was good to see faces new and old with three new members all being taken out on members boats. Members from as far as Clare and Dublin attended.

The members took time out from their fishing to fill bags of rubbish that littered the shores of the lake, it was sad to see but nice to give a little back.

The prize giving was an excellent piece of entertainment after a good 3 course dinner, the craic was mighty as a lot of grown men went into a second adolesence.
The winter league was a close fought event and finally the cross dressers team narrowly edged it in a three horse race.
RA111 member of the year went to Micky McKenna
Best Fish of the year went to Donny Uprichard 28.08
Best Lure Caught Fish went to Dermot Ogle 23.00
Greediest man of the year goes to ALex Denby (aka Burger King)


Well done to all who turned out!
