dalej2014 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Any news on this guy's? Were exactly 12 weeks out which will disappear in no time. I've already booked the Friday (22nd) off work so I can attend. Tbh it's getting a bit frustrating (and concerning) to keep chasing this. A few posts back it was all supposed to be booked and confirmed by now I thought? Rob @ fishery wanted everything paid up and booked in June?

elmoputney Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Nothing yet, I am trying still, I've just messaged them through their website again.will definately call this week. I've been a little busy this last month with work and kids and in my spare time walking, I racked up 600,000 steps as we are doing the million step challenge at work. I got a little competitive 😂 dalej2014 and jh92 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sounding more and more like a good idea to have a plan b. Only issue I can see is where can you book at such short notice? Plus cancelling original venue (although that hasn't been officially confirmed yet, not for lack of trying) and re-arranging, communicating to all interested, many of whom may not have seen the forum is back up etc. Not easy... commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Doesn't sound promising for the current venue lads ! & trying to find a decent one now will be tricky to say the least . Horseshoe could be a back up plan although that's pretty busy these days by the look of it . commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted July 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Good shout Chill I'm sure we have friends on the forum that know the guys there. I'd enjoy a trip there for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InteraX Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) How many people are we looking at? I know somewhere we could easily book out for the weekend, but it's only got space for 8 anglers. It's in Surrey, near the M25.

elmoputney Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 He hasn't called back yet, I've just messaged the guy that runs the lake I fish as he probably knows him as its next door and I'm pretty sure they have done work together on the track and stuff, hopefully if we can join the dots and we can get an answer one way or another.

elmoputney Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 My mate knows him and just said he is a decent bloke but is usually a little slow responding if at all, I will keep trying I'm still hopeful it's OK 👍 dalej2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalej2014 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I think the issue is, if he doesn't respond at all, where does that leave us? Need to get something confirmed as only, what, 9 weeks out now? I've booked a day off work so I can drive to the social, wherever it is, so be reassuring to have venue confirmed soon. I realise you're trying your best @elmoputney, so not picking fault or blame. I thought anyone running a lake as a business would be keen to confirm bookings and get paid deposits and stuff. Seems a funny way to run a business, being so casual? Have you tried phoning the venue at all, or just email? I've found at work the phones a lot better for anything urgent. How long do we wait for him to confirm, or organise another venue? Give it a week? Two? There were less than 8 of us, so the place near M25 ? What's everyone's thoughts guys?

commonly Posted July 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I suggest by the end of the week for this venue. Or, look into Horsehoe .? The M25 onevis very easy for me. I'd just be happy to get it booked ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalej2014 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 I've just tried to contact Ashmire via their contact form on the website. Hopefully this gets a reply. I've left my email and phone number. My hope is a second person contacting regarding the social will prod a response. Fingers crossed. Otherwise are we looking at a plan B? Have to say, if that's the case I'd prefer the M25 venue, (where is that exactly @InteraX?) as it's nearer to me, but can do Horseshoe, although it's nearly four hours drive away. I've looked at videos of the (Horseshoe) lake and it's a monster at 62 acres, and quite weedy apparently? Personally I'd like somewhere with a better chance of a fish; then again that could just be because I'm not used to fishing in big weedy lakes!? Sill, Ashmire may come through yet, but it'd be good to have somewhere booked, paid and confirmed as we're so close now. commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
