THE
REEL THING September
1996
HOORAY!
WE FINALLY HAVE A NEW LOCATION AND A DATE TO BEGIN OUR FALL OPERATIONS.
We have a large double gym, with a high ceiling,
in the Robert Service Sr. School, half-way between Brimley and Midland on the
south side of Danforth Road. This
is a couple blocks south of Eglinton. Parking
is on the west side - or at the back with the school entrance at the front, or
if you arrive after 7, knock on the doors at the back that enter directly into
the gym. Our hours are the same
as always, 6:00 P.M. to 9 P.M. Yes, we will be fly casting, bait casting,
spinning and fly tying (If desired). I
have been assured by the powers to be that we are at the top of the waiting
list to get back into our old school, Samuel Hearn, as soon as it is once
again available.
Let’s all see if we can attend on a fairly
regular basis and get our club back to the way it was a few years ago - full
of enthusiasm. It would be
fabulous if everybody would bring out at least one new person as a guest for
an evening to see what we do.
As you have probably heard by the time you
receive this club bulletin we have had to cancel the scheduled tournament for
the 21st and 22nd for a number of reasons, not the least of which is I just
broke my ankle last week. This
has been a very tough year for us and the club but I can guarantee you that
1997 is going to be a fabulous year for our club with superb casting and
fishing results for ALL OUR MEMBERS!
Also we should be in a position to replace much of the club equipment
within a few weeks. Of course
everybody is welcome to use it, or if they wish, their own.
We already have purchased the new fly tying equipment. Please let us
know as S.A.P. if you want to participate in a mid-October fishing trip.
Unfortunately, one of our most ardent and
enthusiastic members who is also our club secretary, Paul Kennedy, has taken
on a new job which will prevent him, because of the late hours from joining us
in the gym for the fall season. He
is hoping that he will be placed in a different shift that will eventually
allow him to get his casting and fly tying practice in before too long,
however.
That’s all for now, folks,
SEE YOU ON OCTOBER
2nd.
