A Tid-bit
Hopefully there will be something a little special this year too, just to liven things up a bit.  We are aiming to gift every competitor a club fly, for which there will be a special prize for a "secret species - secret length".  Many thanks to Rodney 'Flyrod' Collings for driving this one!

Want any hints, and I really think you should talk to Richard S.  I don't think he's open to bribery, but I'm sure that there is no harm in trying!   ;-)
