Will tell later since that i am quite busy, and after sicily I may be working a couple of days.
Skip - pls book x 2 pasta/dinner - names :- Colin and Naski - looking forward to seeing you all on the 23rd. Do we pay for the dinners at the restaurant or shall we remit the basic charge in advance? BTW - It was real great briefly communicating with you and Jonathan yesterday on the "highs seas"... I never knew ladies (Jonathan's better half) were so keen on Alongi fishing, got a shock when she called me on the VHF!!
It appears something is defective with my VHF antenna, not sure yet, tried the hand held ICOM34 but still could not get you clear. We had a great day and was pleased to see you & The Gaffer around. Despite the scorching heat that we all encountered along with the calm seas we did quite well.... until my brother stopped us fishing cos of his weird conservation ideas..!~!..., out again tomorrow with a friend's boat...for a change!
Please pay Warren directly at Giordano's on the day. Thanks
Good Evening Skip,
For me 6 adults buffet pasta and 2 children.
Thanks

Team BoatLinkMalta.com: Pasta x 3 (Freedive, Jonathan, Kathleen)
Benri x 3 - Pasta x 2, Kids x 1
Do we simply have to post the number of people here or should we also phone Giordano's directly? I believe I had read something about the latter but I cannot find this anywhere now ??? Can someone please advise how we should proceed?
The gaffer X 2 Pasta
We'll let them know based on the numbers here
Guys this should be a fun night out for us all to meet and discuss the competition and recent experiences when fishing for Alongi this year. I went ahead and ordered medals for the skipper and crews of all those who made it to the weigh-in, a small momento of the first ORIS Alongi Competition.
In addition Okuma Malta and the MFF will be sponsoring some fishing prizes for the free raffle giving all those present a chance to win something as well, and the ticket is free (it comes with your meal purchase). We haven't met up in a while so it's like a summer BBQ (except Pasta based!!), and as mentioned people don't have to order food if they don't want, just put your names down and No Food, but at least the venue owner Warren knows how many tables he needs to prepare.
I also expect at the very least 1 member of the winning teams to be present, if they're not those prizes will be re-distributed (eg. if the person who came 5th doesn't turn up, prizes for 5th go the 6th and those from the 6th to the 7th etc etc).
So far numbers are very very low which is disappointing after all the effort that has been put in, we kept the presentation till after the World Cup to avoid any clashes. Hope that people will book in the next few days, as I said, even if they don't want food.
c'mon guys............
Me and Big Boy are attending 2

Courtesy of Okuma Malta and the Malta Fishing Forum who pooled in together to provide over €200 of prizes to you....... for FREE!!!!
thanks skip and okuma....... very much appreciated!!!
No more takers? If you want food you will need to confirm by Thursday evening, after that you can still attend but Giordano's will only be catering for the numbers confirmed online due to logistics.
We were hoping to have a much better turnout, it's very disappointing to see such a poor number of people confirming. The world cup is over, as it happens Saturday is bad weather so no one will be going fishing. We kept the location central and familar, food optional and cheap and even threw in €200 of prizes for free plus added in the medals which were never planned. To be honest not sure what else we could have done!!
