From W. Andy Snedden:

August 26 - 28th 2005. Fishing on August 29th.
Willis Point Community Center, Willis Point Road, Victoria, BC

This is a FREE event open to anyone who is interested. This event is not sponsored by, or associated with, any club or organization. For further information contact Andy Snedden e-mail wasnedden@telus.net

We will have a casual get together with a demonstration or two on Friday evening beginning at 6:00 PM.

On Saturday the demonstrations will begin at 8:30 am. We will be breaking at 12:00 - 1:00 for lunch. As Willis Point is a little isolated it will be difficult to drive out, have lunch and, drive back within an hour. Lunches will be available for a small charge or you can bring your own (there will be a 'fridge). Demonstrations will continue from 1:00 until 6:00, then we will be having a fish fry.

On Sunday we have presentations and demonstrations from 9:00 am until 1:00.
