Spey-O-Rama 2015 Updates
I am pleased to provide the following event updates:
Registration - The updated Club website is now "live" and registration on line is possible. Competitors, please do not wait until the last minute to register. Waiting to register makes planning and ordering of event merchandise more difficult for us.
Event Trophies - Trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers in each category (Open Men, Women, Senior Men) at this year's event. Trophies for last year are being ordered and will be handed out at this year's event. Donna O'Sullivan has kindly agreed to order the trophies for last year's winners.
Tee Shirts - SOR 2015 tee shirts will be given to each competitor. (Another reason to register early is so that my size guessing and order quantities is better.)
Line Weight - After much continued discussion the dry line weight limit is being raised FOR SOR 2015 ONLY to 1200 grains. This is due to concerns relating to the practicalities of enforcement and current lines used by competitors. Please accept my apologies for this rather late notice. A competitors meeting will be held to discuss this subject during Spey-O-Rama 2015.
Casting Ponds - The ponds will be drained, cleaned, and repaired prior to the event. They should be refilled and open for practice at least a week prior to the event. Please note that the water used to fill the ponds in NOT potable and is recirculated by the Parks Department. As California is entering its fourth year of drought conditions this is important to note and should be shared if asked.
Exhibitors - As in prior years exhibitors are most welcome and will be provided space adjacent to the most westerly, or "bottom" pond. Competitors please take the time to thank these exhibitors for their generous support of Spey-O-Rama without which it would be much harder for the Club to host this event.
Meals - Breakfast for competitors will be provided Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; lunch will be provided Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; dinner will provided Saturday. All meals are free of charge to competitors. This is due in a large part to the generosity of long time event exhibitors.
Please contact the undersigned at the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club if any question or comment. Thank you
