Hi all

I have received PMs from different people about dates they are not available in July plus now everywhere is booked up. I spoke to Manor Farm and they can only cater for 15 people/7 units so I have spoken to Paul at Greenhill Farm and provisionally booked us in there for the weekend of the 25/27 September 2009.

If we get over 10 pitches booked it will be £10 per night otherwise it's normal rates. I need to know approx numbers by the end of the month, or ASAP just to get an idea as the rally field is already booked Paul needs an idea, so he can allocate us a space.

I will sort out payment details etc later but at present it is just to get an idea of numbers. I have spare tents/bivvies etc should anyone need one, or some could share the 2or 3 bed ones we have.

There will be a lot going on at the weekend so watch out for more details of the weekend but the one thing for sure is that we will all have a great time in great company even if we don't catch much (They are only small ponds there so no bivvying up beside them)

I'd be up for that Lyn.

That's local to me, so I'll come along for a day or two but won't camp.

Here's the website: http://www.greenhill-leisure-park.co.uk/fishing.htm

The pools sound small but apparently there's also a stretch of the Cherwell (good chub fishing and other river species) and Oxford canal (good for carp and other bits).

Nice one Lyn

The pools are small and the River Cherwell & Oxford canal run together on the section we can fish. As this is more of a social to celebrate 10 yrs of Anglers Net with some fishing thrown in rather than the other way round, it was more a venue with easy access from all directions and that could cater for a lot of us. As I put in the other thread, there is a large dutch barn that is used as a games room that we could go in for the evening should we need to.

The Cherwell looked so inviting it may be worth finding out who has the fishing rights I would still like to go to Manor Farm, maybe organise a small get together or a winter fish-in.

I am sure we can get some fishing matches organised along with BBQ etc

lyn

Sounds fun Lyn but dont think I will be able to make this one due to the dog.Harvington was good as my Mum is just up the road and she could have had him.

Would love to be there, but I'm up in the wilds of Lancashire and I don't drive.

Next time maybe?

Janet

Hi Budgie, I think dogs are allowed and also if there are less than 15 to celebrate 10yrs of Anglers Net then we could go to Manor Farm.

lyn

Hi Janet, if you would like to catch the train down I can pick you up and I am sure between us we can lend you some fishing tackle

lyn

I will keep an eye out to see what happens then Lyn.If Manor Farm is over booked have you tried Anchor meadow campsite just a bit further along the track from Manor Farm?

Its very dissapointing that no one seems to interested especially as its been planned in a fairly centeral location.

May be central for some Budgie, but not for me I'm afraid. I was hoping it was going to be "all around to Eltons house" for the weekend

Den

Many thanks for the offer Lyn! It's much appreciated, but I think it's just going to be too difficult, expensive and time-consuming to travel down, although I'd love to be there!

As Den said, it isn't central for many of us, particularly those of us without transport!

Perhaps we could also organise a few regional fish-ins on the same weekend to cater for those who can't make it?

I'm sure there are many of us who would like to mark the occasion and meet up!

Janet

I would have loved to attend but I HAVE to stay local as I am on call for Brenda 24/7.

You ever fancy going to any of these away days Den let me know I would gladly pick you up.

Good idea Janet!

Cheers Budgie, I will bear that in mind

Den

Anyone here in the North West care to start the ball rolling with suggestions for venues? Although I don't drive, I'm sure I can get transport to somewhere within reason, and I know of at least two other AN members local to me who would also come along if I threatened them with withdrawal of their dumpling privileges....

Janet

Count us in, what is the fishing like?

im new but its not to far from me (aylesbury) and i am looking for some new places to fish, im 17, drive got my bivvy carp rods baits, etc etc i am interested in coming, would it be possible for me to come along?

and when you say we can't camp up by the pond does this mean we will have to stop fishing over night?

Is anything happening with this?

I'm afraid I (and a few others from here) will be at Wingham - sorry

I think we may as cancel due to lack of interest I have been moving house so not been on line much and now have a hospital appointment on Saturday. As only a couple had shown interest I think we will have to give it a miss.
