OPEN WEEK - The club held a very successful Open Week from Monday the 2nd to Friday the 6th of July. All competitions during the week were well supported, aided by the superb weather conditions. The presentation of the week's prizes was held on Friday evening in the clubhouse directly after receipt of all cards for the last competition of the week. The club held a barbecue in conjunction with the presentation and we wish to convey our gratitude to Boyle and District Angling Club for the use of their equipment, which was operated by the very capable Jordan Maye.

Terry Canning, captain of the men's section, thanked several people in his speech, but paid special tribute to the volunteers who keep the course and clubhouse ticking over. In particular, he thanked Michael Rush for the enormous effort he had put in over preceding weeks that ensured a successful staging of all scheduled competitions. Terry also thanked the businesses of Boyle town and the surrounding areas without whose generous sponsorship there would be no Open Week.
