Having arranged socials before on here a few times in the past .... its certainly proving difficult for you commonly. When I first joined this forum if you didn't get your name down you missed out ! & were members on a back up list for any drop outs ! Can honestly say I have made mates for life off this forum & still fish with them now every year on socials .
Obviously I don't visit that much these days but thats only down to a lack of fishing time the past few years . All you regular posters should jump at this chance to meet up & have a fish... Good chance your make new friends for life .
I'm certainly up for it
