TC started this post following a conversation between him and myself regarding Shane
Beachcaster/Davyred, you are right, he is one of the top sea anglers in the country
Just to move on the thread on a bit, I am thinking of getting Shane to come up to do a talk with all profits going to the RNLI as this is NESA\'s charity, hence the conversation between TC and myself.
I spoke to Shane on Friday and he is very keen to come up. The plan would be for him to do a guest speaker night on the Friday night and then be at my shop on the Saturday to give advice, chat, etc.
However, as I would like to get as many NESA members as possible to the guest night could you give me your feelings on the following points.
1. What sort of area would be best for the venue e.g Whitley Bay, Morpeth, Tynemouth, etc
2. What sort of evening would you like? Just the guest speaking or a question and answer night. If it is the latter, Shane has said that he could probably get a couple of other well known names to come up with him
3. Would you want bar facilities (stupid question I know) and a buffet?
Any comments on these or anything else you can think of I would be grateful.
I am hoping to organise it October/November time and if there is a comp on anywhere that weekend Shane may well fish it whilst he is up.
Cheers lads
