ANDY CHAMBERS: LIFE AS THE HEAD MARSHAL
cheating they will be immediately banned from the competition and publicly named and shamed in all the angling press. Now, something that struck me whilst
looking at last year’s results and the fish caught, was that it was very apparent there was a large variation in the quality of the pictures that were submitted to HQ recording the angler’s captures. This I found quite staggering, as competitors you have spent a large amount of time and expense to enter the competition, yet seem to take so little time to ensure the picture you take of the fish with the measuring board is of good quality. Just a little extra time taken to ensure the picture is composed correctly, that you are not taking the picture into the sun, that both the head and tail are visible and that the accurate length of the fish can be seen is the least I would expect. Just one small careless mistake and you could have a fish disqualified which could mean the difference between being a champion and coming runner up. So, I would ask each and every one of you to take just a few more seconds when taking your pictures and get it right, it is for your benefit. I would like to take this opportunity
Safe and sound: The marshals will check your boat safety equipment every morning, so make sure you have everything required and on show
to wish you all a great and enjoyable competition, respect the water, respect other competitors, respect the fish you catch and respect the marshals and don’t forget to read the rules!
Picture perfect ..
Wrong: Both head and tail must be fully shown in picture
Very wrong: Treat the fish with respect ... there should be no blood
Right: It’s not that difficult!
