It's certainly been a great year Chris, I couldn't make all the get togethers, but I really enjoyed the ones I got to!


If I recall correctly the one of Nath without the hat was taken the same night I walked up to the kitchen, said my hello's to everyone and then introduced myself to Nath (I didn't have a clue who he was without the hat)

A Merry Christmas to everyone, and I wish you all the best in the new year!

Cheers
Tony

Thanks Nagg@Chris if that's your reel name.
You people have no idea and I like that,
how much the comradery has meant to those of us, including U who????

Well maybe that's thats the red wine or the bundy or; I might have a sambooka just weight................

Right now wear were wee. Oh tha's right licorice drink, nice.

I started last night / morning at 0100hrs and hear wee R. well looking at the green light s here I R, (sooks). HELLO! .

Great to have mates? HELLO!

No wonder Jesus went fishin eh? A fisher of men? Well I have truly been blessed to have shared your company this year. Outside of our respite and despite my abysmal..........
Well hang on self you did hook some nice barra?
True, and as for Bass well kiss my Ass.

And there has been an act of God as I sit here drinking licorice the Rains have come! Woo Hoo! Thank you Santa. Hang on it just stopped Thhh!

Peace on you all my friends.

Yes it has been a very good year and what about the bad things that have happened
Someone stole Daryls chair and it still has not turned up.
Chris broke his $10 chair and may need to get the 1 he borrowed off of daryl out of his shed to use ,only the chartruese dye on it will give it away as daryls (kidding)

Someone went around putting bannana;s on boats at the Muster and leaving them in eskies when people were out fishing.

The lost rod at the muster
the lost rod and reel at the ABT


and most of all All KIMMIES lost fish at mondy and she wants them back if we find them
If that is our only troubles for the year we have all done well and have nothing to complain about and hope next year is as great as this year Merry Xmas all

[Whitto]

It certainly has been an interesting year in many ways.......Thanks boys for the Memory lane pictures.....I've got nothing after June for Barra other than the Somerset session.

Merry Christmas and an All U wish for 2010

Now lets give 2010 a touch up.............Cheers Whitto

[NAGG]

We were also very lucky ......... John (OBI_WAN) snatched one back after a visit to his doctor ....... & boy does he have the scar to prove it - Yes we are lucky to still have him around ......... & now he just has to land one of those Mondy barra


Ahhh ..... The chairs Daryls goes missing , mine goes to god & Shane wont give me his lounge.

Mighty Whitey burns his volleys ...... thankfully

Tony buys another boat ....... & sells said same You've got a problem Tony

2009 was also the year of the camp ovens ....... how many new ones (Whitto ,Brian ..teflon coated , Roo / Kim , Simon ---- who else - but mines still the only oval one ......... Does anyone have a good damper recipe that they can share with Whitto

As for Kimmois lost barra ....... can someone show her how to set those hooks. ( I'm sure someone will)

How good was it .... hearing about Poiter landing his first barra after so many trips - you could hear the collective sigh ..... good one Pete

We also had lots of new faces at some of the gatherings ....... good to see & hopefully we will get to see more.

2009 also saw the Muster give birth to other gatherings ( Bash , Sessions & Comittee meeting) ....... & now Summer Sensations ...... we need a couple more

Yep 2009 was a goodun ........ lets make 2010 even better

Chris

No worries Gav....I speak for all the Mondy Mob in saying you are more than welcome to join us in our escapades......We rabbit on a lot about what we do but thats because we love doing it (simple) and we make no excuses for doing it......anyone who has the desire to try and catch Barra and enjoys a Camp Fire and a Beverage of choice is welcome.....Look forward to meeting you in 2010....Have a great Christmas.......Whitto
