You have PM Dave!

Mostyn

The normal format is for people to turn up during late Friday afternoon/evening to set up camp on the river bank and we keep a few adjoining beats (the "home Beats" available for people to wet a line that evening.

But for the first time last year we made some upper tributary (very small and probably not available to anybody else stream) fishing available on the Friday to those that have nothing better to do on a Friday than fish! So I am happy to repeat that with something similar this year. There are no guarantees with this because it is river and beat dependant but let me know if you are intersted in some Friday fishing.

Regards

Rob

For those who might be looking at this thread thinking shall I, shan't I then: the format is that you get to fish a day on the main Monnow and one on an upper tributary beat. We pair you off so singletons get to fish with another and if you are a river novice there are plenty of opinionated tw*ts who just can not help giving you advice and then there is me.

Joking apart it is a good place to party and to learn a lot about river fishing and drinking your own body weight, each evening.

...and if you are wondering what the difference between an opinionated tw*t and a complete and utter c*nt is... CF will also educate in this respect

I might have a certain reputation and I do hate to disapoint.

... this experience has to be one of our chief selling points.

The scary thing is, if you look at the Social's small print you'll find that this is actually a requirement of the weekend. Anyone failing to comply will be kindly asked to leave.

Last year one individual found 'failing to comply' had a black cloth bag placed over his head, was quickly man-handled into a van and was dumped at the border

On the other hand, there were a few shining examples of 'how to drink' last year. If I remember correctly, they were well on their way by 7pm on the Friday, however, posting any such photographical evidence would guarantee my chances of a firm beating at this year's social, so I shall of course, refrain...
