Thanks to those people who have registered and thanks to the others who have been patient waiting for the news on the ramp.

Obviously this has frustrated us as much as anyone but all good now

We hope to see some more of you there

Mate no they do not.

They are quite simple but effective rigs.

Angus

[crazywalrus]

Can I bring my boat now. I have a sounder and so on. Cheers Ted Happy to keep the price the same.

[jeff f]

does this mean we'll be launching from the ramp near the wall with access to the eastern arm of the dam that has had very little to none fishing pressure for a long time and we will be among the first to get a crack at it

[Angus]

Guys any specific questions please ask Steve as I honestly have nothing to do with it.

In short however:

Ted: I cant see how that would be a problem...

Jeff: Mate I have no idea sorry.

Anyone going to try some red claw traps there this year?

I have heard this could be worth while?

Angus

[kriso]

Apparantly they have been in there for a while but only a few have realised.

Adrian I am not yakking but you can chuck your yak on mine.

Just a shameless bump guys.

Remember you now CAN bring your own boat as the ramps will be open!!!

Angus

[Angus]

Good to see a couple take advantage of their own boats.

See you there reef_raider

Guys registrations will be open for this event until the day before it commences (subject to availabilty of boats) as we usually get a few last minute entrants.

However in the interest of organising (mainly the catering tbo) please let Steve (and me) know earlier rather than later.

Cheers.

Ray I would love to come and join you!

I cant afford to do the whole trip but a day out on the water would be awesome.

Do you think it would be possible for someone to just come along and play without worring about the accomodation and catering costs?

[ellicat]

Mooky, I think it is frowned upon to take a spot that is potentially available to one of Steve's paying customers

[mookystiks]

Fair enough too eli

just thought I would ask the question.

Would be happy to make a donation and pay for bait and the like,

but ultimately this is not a standard AFO event and seeing all the good things

Sports Tuition do for promoting AFO I would want to be seen as taking advantage.

I have been along to the winter camp before as a full paying full playing experience

and would recomend it to anyone.

just cant afford it this year

have fun guys!

Hey Mooks.

Shame you cant make it

If you went with Ray it would be the discoutned rate (as it would be in a non Sports Tuition boat) but I am not sure if that helps.

Steve brought this up earlier in the year.

The decision he made was to only allow those to attend that are coming for the whole weekend.

It may seem tough at first, however, if a precdent was set that 1 day was ok, it could kill the actual event overall if that makes sense...

Anyway email Steve if you want to discuss further

Cheers
