So our mega raffle is done and dusted, it appears that everyone who attended had a good time and the prizes where very well spread throughout our members, some did very well , others not quite so well but very few didn't win at all so congratulations to all.
I would like to thank every one of those who donated a prize to the raffle be they a company or an individual, we simply couldn't have done it without you and it is very much appreciated by every member of Lincoln PAC, thank you.
I shall leave this raffle page in the public domain until any outstanding prizes are claimed then remove the actual listing but it will be here so I can use it to perhaps tempt potential donations for the 08-09 maga raffle if I have any energies left by then.
Chico.

We are doing extremely well already, I would be the first to admit, a great many companies have really supported us . I am hoping that contacting the Companies that we genuinely use on a regular basis has helped us out.
Please can all members make sure that we continue to support those that have supported us, I know that we deal mainly directly with Tackle shops but a quick mention of Lincoln PAC whenever we buy anything can only help.
Our raffle is living up to it's mega raffle status and we have at least 86 prizes and all in all worth around £1500, every prize is well worth winning.
We will be giving out some "Door Prizes" for everyone turning up on the night too, turn up, get a prize...can't go wrong.

We are very pleased once again to be offering a Rod of the winners choice* from the "Wizard of Lumb Towers" Dave Lumb at DLST.
Dave's rods really do not need any hype at all, fantastic tools built by a proper piker for pikers. Lure rods, bait rods specialist rods even Barbel rods-he does the lot and so very very well.
*value up to £140 paid by us, anything above paid by the winner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cabin break
One of our most stalwart members, despite work curtailing his attendence this season at times, Steve French has made the fantastic and very generous donation of a 2 day Cabin break for 2 with fishing just outside the door. Steve made the same generous donation last year and it was won by a Junior member, Reece Boucher who had a fantastic time there.
More photo's/info and the sensible rules can be found here Cabin -you are a star Steve thought that link was very well constructed.
Many thanks Steve I hope you won't have to buy a pint at the meetings for a while.

Chris Brown of Chris Brown Poducts
has donated one of his very highly engineered 2-rod rest sytems. His ultra high quality systems are absolutely the top-end products and better known in the Carp and Barbel fraternities.The very lucky winner had better treasure it.The system is complete as shown with 16" extending CB sticks but not the Delks, rods or reels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

These are "some" blood-snakes and not "the" snakes we are getting.
Ta to Shad Boy Blaydes for the photography.

The Hook Pick-just been lucky enough to get 3 of these for the raffle I'll let you have the skinny-The Hook Pick is a tool that isn’t going to revolutionise unhooking or replace other tools, what it will do though is make unhooking a damn sight easier in certain situations, such as when you have to go in through the gills or if a bait is a long way down. You can push and pull with it or just apply tension with it held in the teeth by the lanyard. I genuinely think that every piker should carry one of these in his unhooking armoury.
The "Hook Pick" has a 15" overall length. 7" x 3/16" stainless steel rod with a custom bend. 8" x 15/16" Highly durable, solid plastic handle and a 7" nylon lanyard attached to a D-ring.
The "Hookpick Mini" works just like the original "hookpick" only on a smaller scale. It features a 6" plastic handle, 6" x 1/8" stainless steel rod with the same custom S-bend, along with a 7" nylon lanyard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Belstane
have donated a pair of their fantastic Muckboots in this camo colour and even in the winner's size - huge thanks for such a great (and expensive) prize .
Muckboots are very warm, very comfortable and are just so much better than oldschool wellies, I hope that I win them!! Many thanks Belstane.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rather unbelievably we have one of Steve Bown's World beating super dooper hi tech and very blue BBBB's to give away. Technically better known as Billy's Blue-nosed Back Biters these are amazingly good and made by a piker for pikers. At long last someone has made an ultra reliable back biter indicator especially for Pikers.If Carlsberg made a back biter these would be it, they are each carefully handmade by an artisan from Brum in his state of the art workshop . We are giving one away so the chance to have a pair for half price if you buy another with your own money.
Huge thanks to Steve Bown.

These prints have just arrived and they are stunning. They are fully mounted, signed and ready to frame and not just the print that I thought we were getting. A fantastic prize just got even better.
"Pike and Rudd"
"Pike and Perch"

Pallatrax
Well just recieved details of just what Pallatrax are sending us and I am simply stunned, I had expected a handful of Stonze but instead we are getting 5 Pallatrax intro kits that contain not only Stonze but an awful lot more, plus 5 different Glugs too. Our Carp and Barbel boys will be as happy as our Pikers. To see just what is in the Intro pack and more about the Glugs check the Pallatrax website below.
......................................................................
Many thanks to Pallatrax for their huge generosity, instead of the single prize donation that we thought we were getting 5 lucky people will now get the chance.
-----------------------------------------------------
Power Pro
Power Pro's donation from in the U.S. has just arrived and to say I'm stunned is an understatement, they had promised us a few hats and I was expecting around 4 or 5 but we have around 20 of them in many colours and even some visors for the Summer too. Even more surprising as we would fall under the remit of Power Pro Europe so huge thanks to Power Pro US for their generosity and support.
We also have brochures and decals to hand out at the next meeting.
Power Pro U.S.-top top fellas.
-----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------
HOTCAN
Hotcan have donated us a dozen of their fantastic self heating meals in a can. I was really impressed with these when I saw them being used at the Hykeham event and I am very pleased that Hotcan donated us so many so that more of us can try them.
A fantastic product for the piker and put simply, a hot meal without having to lug around all that extra cooking gear.
We are getting 2 x 6 packs of the complete range, check the site to see the delights available.
