MIDWEEK TRIP: WED. 25th

[Ell]

Cheers Keith. also could anyone give me foolproof directions to both pick up points, you naar what I\'m like!

 

[Andy]

The pick up\'s at Mill Dam Ian. Outside the Customs House. It\'s next to the Market Place in South Shields town centre. Maybe you should meet us there & TC could take you along with us.
I\'m busy knockin a few Ling rigs up now & gettin all excited

 

[TC]

Ell......thought you were getting on on the N side...... ......lol

The Mill Dam is about 200 yds upriver from the ferry landing. DEAD EASY to find.....just follow the brown tourism signs for \"The Customs House\" (it\'s well sign-posted).

If you DO decide on the N side option..........turn Right at the traffic lights just before you get to Billys......at the bottom of the bank, you\'ll see The Porthole pub.......turn left and follow the road along until you come to the Fish Quay.

DON\'T FORGET, THOUGH..........

S side pick up: 7:45
N side pick up: 8:00

NOTE: Can you let me know what you decide........don\'t wanna be hanging on for you on the S side, if you\'re waitin\' for the boat on the N side.......lol

I know those are the times Alan quotes but the first time I went on JFK they were waiting for me at 7.35am, so I\'m gonna head down there for 7.30am.

Hope we have a good day, tonight is the first home game I\'ve missed for years, but after the argument the crappy ticket office staff gave me the other week - Stuff Them! (just till saturday)

 

[TC]

Just had a call from Alan.............IT\'S ON.

Sea\'s dropped off nicely and a good few fish caught later on thisafternoon

 

[KeithB]

By the way Ell, the advantage of the North side is The dolphin will be open, should you fancy your usual pre-trip swifty

 

[KeithB]

Wooohoooo, Cheers Tony, hope my stomach settles down as well!

 

[Norman]

Good luck mates, have a good un, I`ll be off down bristol but I`ll think of you ........ lucky sods ! LOL

 

[TC]

Cheers Norman........really looking forward to it.

Midway through the 2nd week of my hols and tomorrow will be the 1st time I\'ve been fishing whilst I\'ve been off.

 

[jeff]

Good luck all....I blanked on purpose at the weekend just so there was something left for you tomorrow!!!

Jeff.

 

[TC]

Now, that\'s just being right neighbourly, Jeff !!

 

[Norman]

Yup jeff me too , just thought we`d leave the big uns (any uns) for TC and the lads LOL

anyway TC, you didn`t half pick a wet week to have a holiday .......
mate of mine decided to have his first full fortnight off work in years .. went to seahouses in a caravan ............. oh dear rained off came back early.

enjoy the fishing mate, come back with some catch to make the rest of us feel it`s worth a trip out at the weekend ....... LOL bank hol as well so could be a LONG weekend.

 

[TC]

\"......you didn`t half pick a wet week to have a holiday.......\"

Aye Norman.....there\'s a knack to it, m8......amd I\'ve got it off to a fine art......lol

 

[jeff]

TC,

You\'ll not meet more \"neighbourly\" people than the Volante team at present.........( this interprets as couldn\'t catch to save our lives!!)

I spoke with Norman on the goggle box, (VHF) at the weekend at that was the plan that was hatched....catch nowt...give the lads a chance.

My word we\'re too nice for our own good Norman!!

Just thinking...last weekend was my third blank this year...pretty bad eh!

Jeff.
