What a brilliant evening to mark the end of the 61st Annual Festival
Well Over £1000 of prizes handed out to members and a host of trophies
Thanks to Chippy Chapman of Bite Adventures for sponsoring all the boat prizes and handing out the evening's awards.
The four £50 members prizes were won by Keith Gilbert, Latasha Chapman, Lucien Burzynski and Mel Brewer.
Super BBQ run by Mike Delbridge, Badger Blewett and Pete Kessell. The raffle raised £112 -thanks to juniors Benji and Will Stevens for selling so many tickets.
Too many members to thank to mention them all by name but thanks to all those that donated prizes, worked out the results,collected the trophies and polished them, stewarded the weigh ins and generally made the Annual Festival another great success.
Thanks to the Bath Inn for the use of their BBQ and garden.

61st Annual Festival Midnight 11th August to 3rd September (members only)
Weigh in every night 9pm to 9.30pm Bath Inn-first weigh in Saturday August 12th
As the 60th Festival format was so successful it has been decided to repeat it again for 2017.
Trophies will be fished for as normal 7 days a week but each weekend there will be boat and shore prizes.
Best Specimen from the shore, from boat and junior shore will be awarded a prize and there will be an additional shore prize based on designated species each weekend. That's at least 4 prizes each weekend.
Weekend is Friday 9.30pm to Sunday 9.30pm. So that means fish for prizes can only be entered at the Sat. or Sunday weigh in. First weekend starts midnight Friday 11th.
