Default WIGFiC 2010 - Pitsford accomodation

Hello,

I am fishing at WIGFiC this year for YW but we are staying at the George hotel in Kettering.
I understand it's £36 per night. The George Hotel - Kettering

What team are you fishing for? Have you fished this competition before??

Regards

Jonny

your other option is the premier inn or travel lodge at kettering....if you book early you may get it cheap (they do deals for £19) at some sites..

then a few beers in kettering

Jonny,

I am fishing for Wessex, and have been lucky enough to fish the last three comps at Farmoor, Stocks and Swinsty/Fewston in Yorkshire.

I have a feeling that we have just booked somewhere (cheap) but I wil find out from our skipper, if not I will pass on the info given from you and Rob - thanks.

Hope to meet at Pitsford, lets hope that the weather is good to us

We fished Pitsford last September from the boats and it fished superbly, so lets hope for the same.

Rob, once again, many thanks for accomodation information mate, will pass it on to our skipper.

Andy

Andy,

Nice to bump into somebody else who has the pleasure of this competition
I think this is my 6th outing in this competition - they get better each year!

Derwent (NWL), Sutton Bingham (Wessex), Farmoor (TW), Stocks (UU) and Fewston/Swinsty (YW).

Hope to see you at Pitsford......Good luck with accomodation!

Regards

Jonny

Jonny,

After 6 competitions, you are a bit of a veteran!

The chances are that you get better year on year as well.

You are right, they are good, both for newcomers and experenced anglers alike. It also gives a taste of working with tactics within a team, which is is pretty new for me, but it no doubt helps our efficiency to catch fish.

And after practice, it is possible that we may have a few beers overnight to aid sleep....

Best of luck mate, probably see you on the practice day.

Andy
