Competitors Catches

A Winter contest was never going to be easy, the 27th December was a bitterly cold but calm day for most of England and the majority of contestants including myself chose to stay in the warm. The 1st January arrived and with it as with the September Tournament High Winds from the North West, sending those brave or perhaps mad enough scurrying for shelter.
