Dave TA matches for members to have a get together would be best. The suggestion for some matches to be on different types of venues also has merit.

Dave not wishing to put a damper on any idea that would get us together, the idea of a knockout was mooted last year and did not get past the first round, it has its flaws for instance how many venues allow a keepnet in a 2 peg knockup, what if someone in lets say the north west eg. Liverpool draws some one in the south eg London, who sorts the venue is it home advantage, is it practical to exect either angler in this sort of case to travel 200+ miles to fish for what a fiver or a tenner?
It works for the magazines because they can afford the £200 prize money per round thats maybe cheaper than what they pay per article or feature.

good ideas ...it really is a great opertunity....there is just one problem and i ain't trying to put a damper on things........but getting anglers to commit them selves is like Hereford winning the fa cup (sorry Hereford you know i love you ) its a problem i cant solve i have tried many things even enticement with big money prizes doesn't really work.... i like the idea of one on one...and regional to start with that may work BUT it means half the anglers would be knocked out straight away defeats my object of getting anglers together... maybe mini leagues with the winner and second go into next round least that way anglers will fish a few one to ones depending on how many anglers we get.... I'm easy long as something happens...
