Title: MFF Alongi Competition - Volunteers Needed
Post by: skip on April 28, 2009, 22:29:06 CET
Dear All,

I know some of you have expressed the desire to watch shore based competitions, whilst others have offered to help in the past.

Just in case any of you might be available we need the following roles based on shore at B'Bugia Jetty:

Competition Judges x 3 (Will oversee that the rules are followed and be responsible for recording the weigh-ins)
Competition Assistants x 2 (Will help with weighing the fish as boats come back and general organisation on the day)

Those occupying the above two roles will need to be at the B'Bugia jetty between 10am - 4pm on Sunday 28th June. The forum will provide a gazebo tent for protection from the sun, along with a table and some chairs plus refreshments. In addition we will provide T-Shirts and hats so that you can be easily identified.

Vessels will come alongside, off-load their catch which will be weighed and officially recorded. The competition judges along with the Competition Director will take care of any disputes or breaches of the rules.

Just to remind everyone, this competition will be filmed by Mister Fisherman and aired on National TV.

If you are able to help, please post below.

I have shown my intention to participate in the alongi competition as a crew member,(should there be a place), but unfortunatly on the same day there is another competition which is organised by our club (Kingfisher). So I cannot take part or offer my help in the organization of the said competition

Charles, many thanks for your offer to help and it's a shame the KSFA have an event on the same time but there are only x number of weekends in the summer :)

Hope you have a fantastic event and it goes well :)

Thanks Ed....the spearos will need help with theirs too so ideally the boaters help the spearos and the spearos help us, would make a good synergy.

Post by: skip on June 17, 2009, 19:42:14 CET
As posted in the General chat we're trying to organise having a second finish location at Beachaven but need at least 2 judges to man the finish point, without them we won't be able to do it.

Also if anyone has a set of scales that go up to 20kgs or so that would be ideal.

Skip I have a scale that I can use.
What I will be questioning is accuracy, it is not calibrated for sure, all I know is that my father uses it to weigh all products from his garden, before taking them to pitkalija.?? But I will have to use it myself, cause If I damage it he would kill me. If I am correct it goes up to 20kg!
