68 REGIMENTAL JOURNAL OF THE 9th/12th ROYAL LANCERS (PRINCE OF WALES’S) Strikers Fishing Club he Regimental Fishing Club was depleted due to commit- ments in the 99/00 season. The 2 Div Winter League series saw some fine skills by the 3 three man teams that represented the Regiment. It must be noted that all these matches were held in some instances over 100 miles from Swanton Morley and were subsequently waters on which we had no experience. There were some notable performances by Cpl K Rae, SSgt (SQMS) Buckley, Sgt Bithell and WOZ (RQMS) McGann. All of whom managed to win valuable section points to maintain a creditable league table position. Regimentally, Cpl McKay switched from carp fishing to match fishing and instead of catching 261b carp managed to catch 26lbs of trout in a thrilling match where the first 3 weights on the scales were the same??? The scales man who shall remain nameless worked out how to use them by peg 4 and the weights improved dramatically to over 501bs per man. Due to the Arms Plot to Hohne the Fishing Club has been absorbed in to the Garrison Club but maintains control of the waters in the area. There have been a series of Regimental and Garrison matches held on both Wednesday and Sundays on Bredebeck and the Camp lakes. Cpl Swift has managed to win one match and the RQMS has finished 2nd in the three matches he has fished. Sgt Bithell has managed to win 1 in 4 and Cpl McKay has sat it out for big carp during the matches but to no avail. W02 SSM S Cunningham has had some reasonable pike from the camp lake, and has also helped out the Officers Mess by capturing 2 dou- ble figure pike which have obviously thrived in their trout lake. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Regiment that have assisted us in the pusuit of our sport and encourage anyone that would like to join us to come along. It is sport for all ages and not just the old and bold. SMML‘G I); V 5‘ ! Br _ ‘ - - «d .- . . ..
