Eastcoast Raiders are going Casting!!!

Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:24 pm

The first of our Club Tuition meets takes place this Saturday amid much hope hype and expectation!! :D
Eastcoast Raiders will be attending from 10.30am until 4ish.
All those attending are required to bring their usual fishing gear, ie Rods reels line shock leader links thumbies and leads etc. Bring a rainproof jacket and wellies too just in case!
No hooks allowed, ye won't be casting far enough to reach the sea!! :D

Plenty of advice help and demos from top casters on the day and everyone will go home with more yards and less line on their reels! :D

Getting there
FROM DUBLIN DIRECTION

Take the N11(Wexford Road) from Dublin, passing Bray on the by-pass.

Proceed through Kilmacanogue, exit at the sign for Newtownmountkennedy.

Follow the signs into the village until you come to a pub called the "Mountkennedy Inn" and a church beside it.

Turn right at the church, follow the main road round to left and about a half-mile out turn right (at the new junction) and follow the main road, proceed uphill for approx. 2 miles. Just over the top of the hill take the second turn on the right (also signposted) and we are at the end of the avenue

FROM WEXFORD DIRECTION

Take the N11(Wexford Road) towards Dublin, passing Ashford and Rathnew on the by-pass.

Take the exit left for Newtown Mount Kennedy

Follow the signs into the village until you come to a church on the left hand side of the road.

Turn left at the church (sign posted for Roundwood), follow the main road round to left and about a half-mile out turn right (at the new junction) and follow the main road, proceed uphill for approx. 2 miles. Just over the top of the hill take the second turn on the right (also signposted) and we are at the end of the avenue


See Ye all Saturday!!!
Feel free to contact myself or Paddy for any questions etc.

No beer or fires allowed either!! There will also be approx 1 million ZZiplex rods on display and can be used by those Raiders attending.

See Ye all Saturday!!!
10.30 sharp!!!

At least you know your putting the power down, it sucks when a rod lets you down like that it knocks the confidence a bit.
Oh did i mention Zzippys tend not to let you down like that, says it all IMO :lol: :lol:

I'll do my best to get down, but no promises.

I've a customer to see at 10am, so hopefully will be done for 12 or 1/2 past, so could likely get down there for 1.30-2ish.

Would that be too late :?:
