Lake Call 01964 676 313 (quote EOBC) Visit www.sand-le-mere.co.uk Adventure playground Introduction Welcome to this year’s 23rd Paul Roggeman European Open Beach Championships the largest three day beach fishing festival in Europe. We are proud to announce that the Championships have been renamed in memory of Paul Roggeman, the competition founder and organiser who sadly passed away following last year’s competition. It was 23 years ago Paul started this new event in Bridlington and it is remarkable to see that a small two day beach fishing competition has grown and developed into what it is today. This has been made possible by Paul’s tireless, hard work and dedication to make the event the success it is today. This matched with your fantastic support is what has helped make the Championships so special. We at EY Events have a team that have worked alongside Paul since the start of the Championships and we will ensure that Paul’s legacy continues to grow and develop for many years to come through this remarkable event. You and your enthusiasm for the event, together with the continual support of Total Sea Fishing and David Hall Publishing have ensured that this is an event not to be missed. Each of you will be able to pick up valuable experiences, tactics skills and techniques whilst enjoying a fun filled weekend making new friends. From all the staff team at EY Events we hope you enjoy your time in the East Riding of Yorkshire and we look forward to welcoming you on Friday, 4 March 2016. In the words of the late Paul Roggeman, Tight lines William Hall Events Manager East Riding of Yorkshire Council Acknowledgements EY Events would like to thank the following people for all their support: David Hall Publishing and Total Sea Fishing and in particular Mr. Roger Mortimer, Mr. Paul Evans and the late David Hall. Sand-le-Mere Holiday Village and Mr. James Flynn and his excellent staff. The fantastic help from officials John Hopkins (Jockey John), Nick Turver, Keith and Kirsty (East Coast Tackle) and George Smith. All local tackle shops. Finally all the staff and volunteers of East Riding of Yorkshire Council who help make the event so successful. What’s happening in your area? EY Events attracts thousands of visitors every year to East Yorkshire with a host of high profile sporting and entertainment events, helping to boost the local economy and raising the profile of the East Riding of Yorkshire on a National and International level. Our aim is to continue to develop, promote and deliver a varied mix of top class events, exhibitions and conferences for visitors and residents of East Riding of Yorkshire to value and appreciate. Why not take at look at what we can offer and consider making another visit to an EY Event soon. For further details visit www.eyevents.co.uk (01482) 391668 [email protected] PAUL’S EUROPEAN OPEN TIPS ‘BE AN EARLY BIRD’ - You will have to arrive at your chosen venue early as the popular areas will soon become crowded well before the start time. ‘BE MOBILE’ - A venue that produces fish over low water could well be worth trying early in the match, before moving on to a high water venue. ‘SHORT CASTING’ - Don’t spend the whole match blasting baits out of site as many of these beaches can produce good fish inside 100 yards. ‘CLIFFHANGERS’ - Be careful when on muddy cliffs, especially after rain. Many anglers have found themselves up to their waists in mud! ‘TRAVEL LIGHT’ - Keep your tackle to a minimum. Venues soon become crowded and a long walk may be on the cards. ‘IT’S A START’ - Remember that any sizeable fish caught on the Saturday could mean extra weight towards Sunday’s big prize fund! ‘FRESH IS BEST’ - There is no substitute for fresh bait. So make sure that you have a reliable supplier or, better still, why not collect your own. ‘RULE IT OUT’ - Make sure that you can carry a suitable fish rule. All fish brought to the weigh-in must be above the relevant minimum sizes. ‘HOOKED UP’ - Avoid large hooks. Recommended sizes between 1 and 2/0 which will hold a good cod but also allow you to target smaller pieces. ‘AGAINST THE CLOCK’ - Weigh-in times will be strictly adhered to, so allow sufficient time to travel back to them. Miss them and you will miss out!

Competition Boundaries The competition boundaries will be marked on Hornsea beach with flags at each end. Competitors must stay within the boundaries when fishing. Due to limited space within the boundaries we ask that there is no more than six meters between each angler. This will be stewarded. 4.Notes The decision of the organiser (EY Events) is final. Neither East Riding of Yorkshire Council nor the organisers shall be held responsible for any loss, accident or damage incurred by any person in connection with the competition. Each entry to the EOBC Flattie Bash is binding in honour only. General Rules 1. This is a catch and release stewarded shore fishing competition for flat fish only. 2. Each competitor is only permitted to fish with one rod, with one reel and running line with a maximum of three hooks. 3. Each competitor should preferably have a bucket of fresh sea water available where each fish caught should be placed until a steward can be called to measure and record. 4. The fish should be returned to the sea immediately after being measured. 5. It is the responsibility of both the angler and the steward to ensure that the fish swims away. 6. Fish should be recorded and returned before the next cast is retrieved. 7. Fish are measured from the tip of the nose to the maximum tip of the tail. The length recorded will be rounded down to the nearest full centimetre. 8. No angling equipment must be left on the beach unattended. Any unattended equipment may be removed by the event stewards. 9. No angling equipment can be set up before each competitor has an entry ticket in their possession. 10. Points scoring system Competitors will be given one point per full centimetre of flat fish recorded. The result will be decided by the competitor with the highest number of points. Where there is a tie on points then the competitor with the most number of fish will be the winner. If there is also a tie on the number of fish then the winner will be the person with the largest single fish.
