Ray, I am really hoping to get a resurgance of matches on canals and rivers so your idea is a great one. If you choose to run a match and pick a date I will do everything I can to promote it and get you as many attending as possible.

Ray123 · 8th January 2008, 02:04 PM

Brilliant....thank you.Booking it is no problem but I need some dates as I don,t want it to clash with other important matches.....any ideas

at the fur and feather i was chatting to a chap from burton on trent (about the trent). i wonder if it would be possible to hire a stretch of the trent at burton, i would love to run a match there. is there anyone out there that knows the chap in question im sure he could answer the question.
