A Day In The Life Of A Match Secretary

Tony Watson DCAC Match Secretary

Last Sunday our illustrious Match Secretary (or should I say ex-match secretary?), had an absolute Nightmare! Having arranged a match on the river he turned up to find a little bit of extra water in the river and that the water was actually moving. Not used to this (too many hours spent on the carp puddles) he declared some of the best stretches unfishable and pegged the deeper slower water. Of course when the draw was made certain questions were asked, and some Anglers made some very supportive and understanding comments. On top of this Tony drew one of these new better pegs he had just put in. What followed could best be descibed as a Basil Fawlty moment which saw Tony disappear in a different direction to the pegged stretch, whilst declaring in a polite manner that he thought it would be a decnt jesture to let someone else have a go at the job.
He did return sometime later and actually went to his peg to fish. Unfortunately he caught very little, but he did seem to have a problem in the way he was standing trying to fish. I did take a photgraph of him which I am now posting. If you think you can put him right please post your comments

On top of all this Tony lost a vital piece of equipment that day. Can all anglers fishing the DCAC Prebends and Kingsgate stretches, of the river Wear please look out for the following, and let Tony know if it is found or it's whereabouts are known.
