--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A great day to be out in fine warm conditions, but a tough day for casting with 0-4 mph breeze now and then.
32 casters took part, with a couple of new members showing some tidy casts, Scott Field and Pete Livesy, well in guys on your first day on the field!
Alan Varley showed his form once again by hitting a cracker early on, and everybody doing there best to catch up!
Youngest caster Ethan Atkinson was once again hitting em hard, whilst the more senior William Thirkle at 71yrs old managed 5 rounds! (Getting fitter every event!)
Some good chucks but not reflected in the distances!
