Sad News - The loss of a great friend
|
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of our very good friend Mick Rivers.
He was a wonderful man and he was a great friend as well. I will never forget all that he did for me in helping with Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers Mick was one of the first anglers to join CCFR and was always keen to make a donation through his beloved Royston Angling club. I never heard an ill word spoken of him. He was kind, compassionate, and a true gentleman. Sadly there are few people like that in the world today. We will all miss his sense of humour and words that would echo around the lake. |
|
HELLO MY BOY. THEY WILL NEVER SELL ICE CREAMS DRIVING AT THAT SPEED as an ambulance could be heard in the distance with its sirens blasting out. AND WHO COULD FORGET THE MICK RIVERS DUCK WARBLER TO START AND END ALL OUR MATCHES
I could never repay all that he did for me and CCFR, but I would at least like to do what little I can and in doing so, honour his memory with the introduction of a new award during our fishing series.
We all extend our sympathy to Mick’s sons Shaun and Simon along with the family and let them know how much we share their pain at this sad time.
In Friendship & Sorrow,
Ian Darler and everybody at Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers

On leaving the vehicle, strict social distancing measures must be adhered to at all times maintaining a minimum of 2 meters apart. No physical greetings handshaking etc to take place.
The Draw
The draw will be held in accordance with the organiser’s pre-stated process to ensure social distancing is maintained..
In order to comply with rules on organised gatherings the draw will take place outside conforming to the rules on social distancing. In order to comply with the recommendations myself as the event organiser should be the only person to draw. I will have 2 bags with me on the day
1) Holding all the names of the anglers
2) Holding the pegs numbers,
I will draw the name of an angler followed by a peg number once a peg is allocated the angler should immediately make their way to the fishing location as normal ensuring social distancing at all times.
Use of Nets
Keepnets and landing nets should be dipped in your stink bags as normal in accordance with the local fishery rules when driving through the one way system.

Strictly no anglers are permitted to follow the scales ANY ANGLER FOLLOWING THE SCALES WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Ensuring safety and adherence to the social distance guidelines during the weigh-in is the responsibility of the organiser.
Two weighing officials have been appointed, Tim Cooper to weigh the fish and myself to record the weights. Weighing officials will be wearing PPE gloves and masks as a precaution and will maintain social distancing measures at all times. The angler should remove their keepnet themselves and transfer the fish into the weigh sling without breaching social distancing guidance or touching the weigh basket (weigh slings of a self-supporting design will be in use). The angler must then step away to allow the weighing official to come in and weigh the fish. The weighing official then calls the weight and the anglers must agree that they are happy with it. The weighing official then returns the fish to the water. The process is then repeated if several weighs are required. Social distancing guidelines i.e. the 2m rule should be obeyed at all times. Once weighed in the angler will pack up and return directly to their vehicle.

The CCFR 2018 fishing series has just one match remaining and yet again the points table tells a story with the leaders Ian Claydon & Dave Keedy on 26 points being closely chased by Dudley Seal and Gary Chandler on 24
points this means that there will be a new name on the championship trophy this year. Good luck to you all on the final match. |
