Outcasts Gathering Sunday November 7th

Hi folks

I think it best to start a new thread for this, just in case we cause any confusion in Ben's Sexyloops thread

So, we are thinking of holding an Outcasts Gathering on Sunday November 7th, who would like to come along?

Cheers
Mike

No Mike you're not going to get a visit from Ambulancechasers4U.

A reccurance of my heart trouble. They don't think it'll involve major surgery but I'm Horses de Combat till I get the results of the tests.

Ah well time for fly tying at least.

[Mike Barrio]

That doesn't sound like much fun take it easy and look after yourself Peter

Cheers
Mike

[John Reid]

Hope you recover soon Peter.  I am sure you will be able to relax in front of the vice.

Best wishes

Guys.......

Been thinking about this.  The weather may be pretty grim, we have some members that would like to attend who are ill or injured so How does everyone feel about having the gathering at Haddo.  There is just about enough space to cast and Mike has offered to let us stalk some fish from the bank, there is a warm hut with a stove and we can drink Mikes coffee and smoke Magnums fags.

Whats are your thoughts?


Cheers

Ben

[Noel Kelly]

I have never been to an outcasts day but if there is stalking fish from the bank at Haddo involved then count me in

[Mike Barrio]

Sounds like a plan

Cheers
Mike

[John Reid]

Absolutely brilliant plan.  Will the 2wt line be ready for then Mike?

Should be John, I hope so

[Irvine Ross]

Sounds like a good idea to me. 

As we will have water rather than grass I will be able to work on my single handed roll casting which seems to have fallen apart. If the weather is bad then a warm hut will be great.

I pulled a muscle in my lower back yesterday and bending is painful, but I expect I will have recovered in a couple of weeks time.

Irvine

[Kev Danby]

Will try and make this

Cheers

[Jim Eddie]

Aye count me in

So ..... Irvine has mentioned single handed roll casting, has anybody else got anything in particular that they would like to get some practice with?

The roll casting might come in handy when fishing from the bank at Haddo

Cheers
Mike

I would like some help with the double haul.  I can get it working at the side but not overhead 

[Hamish Young]

I'm on yet another work course down in Hull the week before; but handily have just been advised we finish at lunchtime on Friday  Just as well I didn't book my hotel until this morning 

So, in a slight change in my original plan, I'll be driving straight back to Inverness on Friday and will come through for the day on Sunday, it'll be nice to see some of the 'crew' and (selfishly) will give me a chance to put my 'new' toy (an Alfa  ) through its paces properly on the run to Haddo 

It's possible that 'she who must be obeyed' will be coming too - if only to spectate and get cold 
I'll give her my camera so she can take some pics on the day.
If it's pissing with rain (possible) then she can drink Mikes tea and keep the stove going
