birdman, I've found the answers for you:

"for the junior trophy, yes it has been a number of times, but some years ago.  Checking back as far as 1999  it has not been awarded.  A junior may have weighed in a fish but chose a prize position higher on the awards list."

Mark, the problem is most likely due to the absence of a driver in your media player that you need to download. Can't help you more than that, as I am unfamiliar with this.

An update on the derby. As of Sunday morning, Fred's has sold about 60 tickets. The forecasted rain tomorrow should be good for the river, but hopefully it doesn't lead to blown out condition on derby day.

Rodney the lickman road punch station would be in the parking lot at the end of the road correct?
Yes, starting at 6:30 am and goes to 8:30 am. If you are later than that you have to go to the clubhouse as you and punch until 10 am.

Latest words from the organizer:

At 9:00 am this morning the Chilliwack/Vedder River was high and muddy and the forecast
is for rain 90 % today and 80 % tomorrow.  The expectation are low for holding a
successful derby tomorrow.

According to Rule # 14, an official announcement will be made on Boxing Day at 9:00 am at
the Fish and Game Clubhouse.

According to rule # 15, IF the derby is cancelled it will be rescheduled for Sunday,
January 1, 2006 and the same derby format will apply.

There is no refund on tickets.

If you have any questions you may call me at 604-858-3257.

Tickets will be on sale at the clubhouse on Derby Day (when ever that may be) from 6:00
am to 10:00 am.

With outdoor recreation, weather is always the final determining factor.

Remember the Boxing Day Sales at the local tackle stores: Fred's Custom Tackle,
Chilliwack Dart and Tackle, Hub Sports, Reaction Fly and Tackle, and Kent Outdoors.

Thanks Rodney fop the update, Searun, Gt and I willl probably head out there anyways unless there is a final word later in today.  But, the rules state that the final word will come by 9 am.  Is there a chance that the final word could come down sooner to save some the price of gas to get out there?

I doubt the final words will come before 9am tomorrow morning. It would only make people confused to change the rule.
