2. Competitions and Outings. There will be 5 competitions/outings counting towards the Championships this year. On competition days all fish will count towards the final total. The A team will fish two on Swanswater, two at Millhall and one at Orchil Loch. It is hoped that there will be one boat outing and one bank outing at both Millhall and Swanswater but this depends on availability at Millhall. There will however be two boat outings during the season.
The B team will fish either the Millpond or the Meadow Pond depending on numbers.
Dates for competitions are to be confirmed and you will be informed as soon as possible.
3. Barbecue. There are two possible dates for the annual BBQ – Saturday 28 June or Saturday 23 August. If members could let me know which of these dates suits better, the BBQ will be arranged to suit the majority of members. We hope to hold a fun competition on the night of the BBQ which may take the form of a pairs or team competition. Further details nearer the time.
4. Fund Raising. Stirling is hosting an International Angling Festival early in August. On the weekend of 9/10 August the Millpond and Meadow Pond are being used to offer taster sessions for people, particularly youngsters, wishing to try fly fishing for the first time. A team of coaches will be here and people are being brought in by mini-bus from the main centre of the Festival which is at the new Auction Mart (where Angling Active is). The Cygnets committee have decided that this offers an ideal chance to raise some money for the club. It is proposed to hold a Tombola with fishing related and other prizes, and also to have a Cake Stall selling teas, coffees and home baking to visitors to the Fishery. Volunteers will be needed to man these stalls over the weekend and also donations will be needed for both. Please think what you can do to help and let me or another committee member know. The organisers of the Festival are also keen to have Cygnets on hand to let other youngsters know how much enjoyment they get from their fishing so I would be grateful if you can let me know whether you are free over that weekend so I can arrange who can be here. Again, further details nearer the time.
