It was very nice to see the festival given such a great spread in the local paper, a big thanks to John Watterson   at Isle of Man Newspapers. I have not had a report in there for a while and i did think that they may not put this in. You may be aware that it is not as comprehensive as the report on here but due to printing space i had to reduce it by 90%  .

I for one think that it shows Manx Boat Fishing in a good light and that has to be a good thing.

I have yet to arrange the hand over of of the money raised which as you all now know totalled up to £1,576.50,  but this will be done in the very near future  .

May i just say once more a very big thank you to not just all of our great sponsors, but to those people who have also given of their time in helping me to make this the premier boat fishing competition that it is. However without you the compeditors no competition is a success, so a big thanks to you all  .

I look forward to seeing you all next year for the 3 day Festival which i will be striving to make more successfull than ever with one or three different ideas to help the festival progress and become even better.
