The BPPAA AGM and presentation is this coming Sunday 30th held at the Branch Tavern on London Road, Brighton. The first match of the year is the first sunday of April. If you interested in attending either event then let me know.

Competitions held on Brighton Marina and within Local area. Brighton Palace Pier Angling Association will also be hosting a fishing trip to a venue outside of sussex which is always a really great day out. Begins by getting the coach to the destination and then fishing in a competition (usually on a pier) until about 4pm, then you have approx 2 hours of leisure (usually spent in the pub) before getting the coach back to Brighton at 6. if you are interested then please email us on Craigide@hotmail.co.uk. payment can usually be made on the day but numbers must be known before hand for coach and whitelink bookings. If you are interested in coming along to a competition all of the dates are listed below. You can come as a guest for the first few times and it costs £2.50 to fish. It is a great place to meet new people and learn new techniques and hints from Some of Sussex's to anglers.    

In the event of rough weather, competitions may be made a 'rover'. This means you can fish more or less anywhere as long as its from the shore or pier. 'Rovers' will be decided on the day at time of book in. Spinners Lures and Feathers are banned in all competitions. One Rod is to be used with a maximum of 3 hooks being used. If you are a memeber and catch a monster or a specimem whilst pleasure fishing anywhere in Sussex you can register it with the club and there may be a certificate or trophy awaiting you at the annual presentation.

The Palace Pier AGM was held on sunday 30th and there are a few pics from the presentation. Glenn is sending me some of the finer details but an few interesting bits are that the total weight of fish on the scales was over 400lb for the year with the majority of fish being returned. Sam Sampson had the heaviest individual weight for the year with approx 90lb of fish to himself. Ben Arnold weighed in the heviest weight in one match of 19lb. There were also some club records broken this year with an 8lb Smoothhound which Roy Arnold had and a 2lb 8oz Wrasse which Sam Sampson had. I also got some silverwear for the heviest Eel of the year, a 2lb 7oz montser that was very short but obese. The Palace Piers first match of 2008 is next sunday (first sunday of April) its 9-2 with book in at 8am at Mcdonalds in the Marina by the tackle box. All welcome whether you are new or old. If you fancy coming along let me know and i can give you full details.
