I never had a Cypry Dome myself, Bruce had one which we shared a couple of times in the winter on the Meadow swims at Taverham. I did get the Rod Hutchinson Apotheosis, the one after his first dome, when I fished at Earith, very comfy, even in winter, although it did end up smelling of damp. I'd pack up in damp cold weather and not get the chance to dry it until the next session. I always wished that I had gotten a Yateley and Horseshoe ticket, but money and travel was always restrictive until around 2000 when I got my Hotel and Catering Manager HND. I've moved this back to UK Carp Fishing as although it is 'venue based' and referring to Horseshoe I think is history and worthy of general conversation.

Never got to fish horseshoe and wont now, but i was sort of on track to fish yately, this would of been around the time Terry and the yately crew were just getting started on the complex, but had a massive fall out with local club (portsmouth and district) that made me fall out with angling and coincided with getting a 1st car and err.........realising the fun that could be had with the opposite sex

I got my Hutchie dome from Penge Angling, had to be the alloy pole version of course! Did try to argue a 'cash' price, they were having none of it though 😂

After moving from a brolly I purchased a Shakespeare cypry dome (oooh ark at me dead cool….🤣🤣🤣😵‍💫) Penge angling post dated cheque spread lol

I’m sure this must be a new thing as I’ve never come across it before but why is Sweet Corn verboten ?

Morning Gents . I’m a moderator on a football fans forum and I’ve had exactly this problem . we have set in place a system where all new applicant members have to have their details ratified by a Mod and then have their application activated . The majority of new applications come from Eastern European spammers so their IP addresses give the game away straight away . Those that are not so obvious get sent a related question by email to answer . you’d be surprised how many Romanians think Bobby Charlton used to play for West Ham 🤣. It means I have spend an evening once a month cleaning up the Spammer new account applications but it’s better than spending your whole life deleting and banning , which is what was happening before . Genuine applications usually make themselves heard on the forum pretty much straight away and the obvious spammers can usually be spotted by their ridiculously Eastern European usernames .

I think I’ve kinda grown DOWN over the years 🤣

Welcome to Carp.com, although I struggle with doing grown up
