8th Ousemeisters Barbel Challenge

from tuther side

could be four from over the hill coming just sorting out transport (who is driving so the others can have a few pints) will confirm by email next week
will be bringing pie pack ups to put us on till later :D
 
Not long to go now Ousemeisters .So far I have confirmed attendees [ fish and grub ]: Paul Hamer , Steve Foran , Dave Maddison , Robin Bowes ,Mike Lowrence ,Steve Fisher , Mark Dyer and Martin Cockburn . Possibles , Gaz and Mark from Ribble land . The food and drinking will take place at the Blacksmiths arms at Newton on Ouse this year as the Black Horse Tollerton is not doing grub at present . It's a nice pub with a good menu and literally 30 seconds walk from where we park up . If you want to eat I really need to give them a few days notice as we will need to book tables . So make your minds up and let me know as soon as you can . As before I am putting a limit of 20 to fish to give everyone a chance of a decent swim , not that 20 have ever shown up , but just in case :D

Excellent pies Gary thanks again, and some good banter in the pub afterwards. I almost feel like i've fished the ribble :p Hope to see you all again next year for a blank and a pint!
