Glad to see this Forum is still alive, hardly come on here now but I'm still alive and still getting the rods out but not quite as often as I used too.

Thought I would copy and paste my 'Time' here.

Although we never met face to face, we got on so well, we often communicated with each other over messenger, FB, etc.
Our last little 'chat' was just over a week or so ago, he was fading fast but was still the old Gerry we all knew and loved, he had asked someone to buy a few bird feeders and fat balls so he could watch the birds feeding through the window at the hospice he was in.

RIP me old mate, we'll all miss ya, but you have left us with some very fond memories.

I can understand Massive pods that look like V2 launch sites,

You can have massive winds fishing on the large ressies in France, but never heard of anyone smoking unhooking mats so thin with some Old Holborn within them.

Yes there are criteria for entry into the BCSG, all the details are on their website, these are the main ones.

f you have been carp fishing for at least 15 years, can demonstrate angling success on a number of waters and are interested in joining the BCSG then please submit the form. Once submitted all applications are then reviewed by the regional organiser(s) for your area. You may be invited to attend an interview and to provide photos to support your application. Please note for overseas applications you may still be required to attend an interview in the UK.

The form is available through the website, link below

Just remember lads, roof boxes have a weight limit, an overweight roof box can make a big difference to the way a car handles. I always put bulky lightweight stuff in mine and the heavy stuff inside with the seats down, I would never carry the bait in a roof box, I've seen anglers turn up in France with all their bait for the week in a roof box, then much lighter stuff inside the vehicle, it makes the vehicle so unstable.

I haven't put much up recently, but here's a few from this year's trip to France.
