AMBLE OPEN
For a small club in north-east England it’s remarkable how the Amble Open has established itself as one of the biggest shore matches in the UK. In 44 years the club has never had fewer than 450 entries and this year’s 45th Open should see similar numbers flock to the Northumberland coast. Boundaries are south side of Seahouses Harbour to Cambois Pier excluding all rivers and piers. You can register on the day at the Radcliffe Club, Charles Road, Amble, Northumberland, NE65 0RA, from 6.45am. Pre-registration is available from 2 January at local tackle shops. Weigh-in is at the Radcliffe Club from 12.30pm - 1.45pm. The open takes place on 8 January from 8.30am - 12.30pm, £12 entry, all classes. Enquiries to Jimmy French: 07845 251241
