The certificates were designed to be trimmed, not left as sent, although that's fine too, just not squared up.

Also sorry about the cane box grow on the left side, happened at the printers. I decided a minor imperfection was OK

Thanks,

Did I tell you guys about the beer I got at the Somerset show? It was marked 5% but felt more like a 4.

Thank you to everyone who entered.

The number of haiku surprised me and, I hope, entertained you.

Now comes the judging.

The haiku will be broken into the good, and not so good. {I really wanted to use the old Clint Eastwood western movie title, but that wouldn't be nice.} Then...

Somerset Fly Show
Simon Gawesworth conducting;
his baton, a rod.

Balance and movement.
Snake cast left, then snake cast right.
Flexibility.

Fly lines were dancing
a Tchaikovsky pantomime
on makeshift Swan Lake.

Lawyers threatening
Classifieds cancelled
"Bay of E" banned ("bay of e" - good one, not mine)

Members get ugly
"Quit telling us about rules"
"Too much censorship"

But the Board is strong
Wit, wisdom, civility
are the corner stones (must be a pyramid)

Makers share methods
Collectibles discussed
We pray for Sante (and now for the humble Gnome)

The Lovely Reed...

Cloozoe and Marty,
birds of different feather
still fish together.

The pound droppeth like

gentle rain from heaven with

Two close friends fishing

Inspector felled by beadhead

Peace on the river

Careful with Cloozoe
That stuff goes straight to his head.
Can't hold his Champilk

Cloozoe,

You made me laugh out loud to the point my colleague had to check in my office to see if everything was O.K. Champilk has now been added to my vocabulary. I promise to serve it at the next rod gathering...

Marzipan fly reel,
Cream, nougat, butterscotch rod.
Fish it, or taste it?

The AirRite rod name
would be a bad ethnic joke
they meant to say Lite

The rods are never
obsolete but dollars fuel
the pitchmens' gibber.

Bulldog; I never cease to be blown away by the gear and photos you post.

loses it in translation
Cane? No, fiberglass
