NESA Winter Comp?

Stewart !!!! only my mother calls me that, and that's when i'm being told off .....

On a serious note, i am not saying this for my own benefit, i don't fish a lot myself nowadays due to health problems, but i know there are a lot of lads down this neck of the woods who maybe don't have transport and would like to fish a NESA comp.

I'm sure that if there was a one down this region then yes i would make the effort to attend.
 
I really can't understand your arguement then if you would fish Peterlee area and not from Shields to Sunderland, as it is a bit closer from Seaham to South Shields than it is to Peterlee from Seaham.

As far as being biased to the north of the region goes, I would dispute that strongly as I live in the south of the region myself. It doesn't make a massive difference to me where I fish as the closest place to me is about 25 miles (which is south of the Tyne.

As far as organising comps goes, I have only arranged them where they were before I took over the job. I could also only organise a comp in the areas that I know, as everyone knows it would be impossible to organise a meet if you did not have any idea of the area to be fished.

If you would like to organise a comp that was more in your area then please feel free. There is nothing I would like more than sitting back and enjoying someone else doing the work, then turning up on the night, paying my money and setting off to my mark. Instead of standing around for an hour waiting for people to turn up that have put their names down and simply do not let you know they are not coming lol.

I am not having a go at you mate but it is simply not possible for me to organise a comp in an area that I do not know anything about.

Got to agree with Jim here. There's nothing worse than waiting for competitors or team mates to turn up and ending up being late for the fishing yourself. I know that at the last NvS comp I started 40 minutes after everyone else.
On a more positive note, and appreciating travelling distances and petrol costs, there are a number of websites that hold comps within their areas and so cut down on the travelling. A Seaham meet, open to all, might be an attractive proposition for a number of board members, all you need is someone happy to put in the leg work.
 
Got a date in mind for the Freindly, but I'll hold back until Jim has finalised details for this one first...

...key point tho made by Jim and Stores is the fact that the organiser invariably puts him/herself out especially if they actually want to fish it themselves...it's not hard to actually administer a mini comp but it's always reliant on goodwill from others and that can be where it falls down.
 
Jim, go for the dates you pick.

I think one of the reasons the south venue is at South Shields is because no matter how big the sea is you can always find somewhere safe to fish unlike the Durham beaches.
If the sea was too big then the comp would need to be resceduled due the beaches being unfishable and that bwould be a nightmare.

I will make it no matter what time or date, 2am in morning is fine also.
 
Thanks for the input lads, much apreciated :thumbup:

I have decided to stay with Saturday 13th Dec, it's a good size tide and not as late as others so I will get all of the info down for the weekend. Lets hope there is plenty of interest and we get some decent seas too ;)

Right then Tony now this is finalised what dates you got in mind?
 
Got my weekend pass organised. As I've yet to weigh in in any of said comps I'll live on my reputation lol. Anything you need in a helping sort of way Jim - just ask.
 
it is hard work to organise someting like this and hard to please everyone and everyone can'nt be pleased unfortanatley.
 
im still waiting to fish one of these comps but lack of transort lets me down
i can see falcone's point but theres so many people to please
and terry there is plenty of places to fish on durhams coast line if the sea is to big .

as for the mini comp in seaham id be happy to arrange one if the intrest is there.

but like its been said to organise one then have to wait about is a pain therfore
set the sign in time for what ever time and give yourselfs time to get to the mark then start the comp ie (last sign in 6 comp starts at 7 any late comers please join in but your not eligable for prize's)
that meens any late comers dont get to fish in the comp but can still have a meet up and a bit craic
just my oppinion??
 
gazzawill, I first saw your post at 07:50 this morning and I thought I was still asleep and having a strange dream. I am just answering now because I have been busy wiping Coco Pops from my screen, desk and keyboard.

Allow me to lace your boots, you have put your name down for every single comp and meeting that NESA has had and you have never turned up once. Apart from one time you never let anyone know that you were not coming.

You are right about one thing though, it really is a pain to have to wait about for someone JUST IN CASE they happen to turn up. I was going to say a lot more but I will leave it at that.

Oh by the way, if you do organise a get together at Seaham, please put my name down too.

Jim.

Agreeing with Jim on the " No show " problems that Mr. Will has , as I'm sure most long standing members will I must say I always thought Mr. Egg was more of a honey nut loops type of guy :rolleyes:
