After an easy night on the beer everyone was bright and cheerful for todays competition.  We would be fishing Willows Lake .  Willows Lake is a rectangle shape with 3 legs reaching  to the centre each side.  Pegging would be generous again and the points at the end of the legs were the favoured pegs to draw.

The Draw Gary Street (Rambo) was well organised, there was no need for a disorderly queue at the drawbag as we would draw as our names where down on the list.  I pulled out peg 35 towards the corner of Bonsai .  There were 26 of us
