Herts Branch Flydressers Guild Programme
The main meetings start at 8.00pm, the fly tying classes at 8.30pm. Meetings typically finish around 10.30pm. There is a raffle during the main meeting of which prizes can include fly tying tools, materials, books etc. There is a £3.00 door entry fee for the main meeting and a £1.00 entry fee for the fly tying classes.
When there is a fly tying demonstration, it is displayed on a projector screen so everyone can see comfortably.
Next Meeting: Annual General Meeting & Quiz
8th March 2010
March's main meeting may not be the most exciting as meetings go, but is certainly the most important to members of the branch.
The AGM is where the running of the Branch is discussed and dealt with, so it is advisable for ALL members of the Branch to attend. After the Branch's business has been dealt with there will be a light-hearted fishing-related quiz.
Please arrive promptly for an 8.00pm start.
Membership to the Branch is available all year, but the subscription to the main Guild between November and August MUST be paid directly to them. See details on the main Guild's website.
