On Saturday it was down to Todber for the silvers match on Ash, draw time arrived and I managed to avoid the pegs at the near end but felt 67 wasn’t quite far enough up the lake. My neighbours for the day were Lee Jan and Nick P while Parker ‘The Pole’ was on 65 and Adrian Dew was disappointed with 63. …

Todber Manor was the destination on Saturday but my stuttering drawing arm seems to keep avoiding the middle pegs and the once reliable and patented ‘Hanging Back’ technique isn’t working anymore. After a cracking breakfast it was time for the ‘Bucket of Doom’ and to be honest I wasn’t surprised when I opened my ticket to see 64 staring back at me! …

It was back down to Todber on Saturday as I haven’t been for a few weeks, a fantastic breakfast as always in the Lakeside Kitchen set us up for the day and then it was time for the draw. I decided against my patented hanging back technique this week as it’s not been serving me too well recently and I keep getting …

My Saturday trip to Todber didn’t get off to the best of starts when I woke up at 7:37 and I should have been sat down eating breakfast at 7:30! After rushing around, things didn’t improve when I arrived to find I’d drawn peg 62 at the near end, not where you need to be at the moment. Quickly setting up a …

Todber on Saturday and of course it was stupidly windy again, so fed up with it now and I can’t remember a weekend when I haven’t been virtually blown off the bank! After a fantastic breakfast in the Lakeside Kitchen, it was time for the draw and myself and Mr Dew employed the usual technique of hanging back although it needs recalibrating …

On Saturday it was down to Todber and once again Adrian Dew and me employed the patented hanging back technique at the draw even though it showed signs of faltering in the last match. With three tickets remaining we made our move and looking at the sheet, rather worryingly the only spaces left were at the near end. Ade opened his ticket …

On Saturday I headed down to Todber for the first time this year, a hearty breakfast set us up for the day and then the next job was to avoid drawing a peg at the near end. As per usual Adrian Dew and myself employed our patented hanging back technique, with only a few tickets left we selected one each and Ade …

I haven’t been to Todber for a few weeks so booked in for the Saturday open, there were only eight of us but it has been fishing quite hard. The usual lovely breakfast set us up for the day and it was great to see Parker ‘The Pole’ there again and also Matt Parsons who I haven’t seen for ages. The draw …

November kicked off with my first visit to Todber for a few weeks, draw time soon arrived and as per usual, Mr Dew and me hung back hoping to avoid 62 and 63. With most of the pegs taken, it was beginning to look like we might have made a tactical error as there were only three tickets left and 63 was …
