first reply....
The likely clash is the GBASS open which is normally late August on the monster tides but that won't be decided for a few months yet.
 
OK I have stuck up a post on the Guernsey fishing forum asking if that date would clash with any open fishing comps...
What do you think Mike?

Hi Martyn, re weekend of 23rd August, tides look good and would work for Jsy boys, but as you say, potential clash with the bass festival which would not be good! There cant be many suitable dates for such an event, shame organisers haven't responded. Have been checking hotel availability, prices seem to be higher this year, but at the moment we can still get six rooms at a couple of reasonably priced places on both the 26th July and 23rd August. Whichever date is set, we are all very much looking fwd to it. cheers mike
 
As it happens this weekend is the last of the three Guernsey specimen hunts so most keen fishermen are fishing 18+ hours a day!
Hopefully we will get a bit more info on Monday or more likely Tuesday...
 
Well Guys I tried my hardest to get a date from the bass club guys but I have given up now, so.....
We are going to set the date for next years meet, it will be over the weekend of August the 9th 2014.
Yahooooo! Talk about keen....the "Jersey boys" are now booked! We have our hotel sorted and we will book the ferries asap. Dan, Mike, Louis, Cobus, Jason and Paul are really looking fwd to meeting everybody again, as well as downing a beer or three and chasing a few fish! PS don't forget that team tankard
 
Have you booked back in the cheer ? What rates did you get for what rooms?
Hi Ian, Yep were back at the Cheer. Suits us, convenient location and facilities for cleaning smelly spearfishing gear, good rooms, good staff , good breakfast and a good bar! This time we have 8 Jsy boys so we have booked 8 rooms! More expensive than last year. £215 for three nights, double rooms/single occupancy/B+B.................. please don't tell us if u get it for less! ...................should be quite a bit cheaper for u if ur sharing. BTW Condor ferries has just issued next years time table.
 
Um .....I was going to say virgin blond alcoholic nymphs .....but ....the Mrs just smacked me round head ......can get we some kegs of Guinness?...........need I say more?...........lets temp some crazy Irish pixies over!...LOL.x
 
Folks - we are still just getting finishing touches to the pre-registration and details. We will be limiting numbers for the come next year although will also have a Freediving track as well.

I will have pre-registration open in the next couple of days. Registration for the comp and socials will go first to previous attendees, then we will open up to new attendees.

Please bear with me - I'll have all details sorted in the next couple of days.
