Christmas Competition 2007

It was a cold clear day, with the river at Barming out of sorts, but 24 hardy souls braved the cold to celebrate Christmas in the traditional fashion. There were certainly more laughs than fish, as our quarry failed to get into the Christmas spirit, but a good time was had by all.

Of the 24 fishing, only 7 managed to catch,

with John Brimmacombe taking top honours with a nice Chub and a tiny roach for 3lb 1 oz.

 Below is a pictorial record of the event. Young children should look away.....

The bream were rarer than santa's reindeer

But a couple put in an appearance for Christmas

101 year old Jim Randall showed the youngsters how its done....

There was a prize for everybody, unlike the fish...

Booze winners became instantly popular

Terry caused a stampede for his chocolate

Unknown to Paul, Jon was about to tackle him for his Roses!
