IN the last of the Tockenham Wednesday Opens, weights dropped in conditions which changed so much during the latter part of the day.

Weights dropped to Gary Etheridge's 12-4-0 of roach and skimmers taken on the waggler.

The BCA match at Ivy House was won by Pete Sole who took an 18-4-0 carp catch ahead of Paul Hunt's 14-12-0 and Bert Page (8-12-0) was third.

The Wednesday Club visited Wootton Bassett AC's High Penn lake near Calne and were rewarded with some good bags of small roach and gudgeon, but carp were needed to bulk the catches for the top three individuals.
