One of the worst months for Piking in a long time. Most of the month a total washout with damp, cold, freezing weather that stopped most of the region members from getting out on the bank. Those who did manage to put baits in the water failed miserably. Round four of the Winter Pike matches attracted a very low turnout on the day and with the venue not being local included quite a bit of motoring. Steve Sandiford trying to maintain his lead in the competition and Jon Tweddle both blanked on the day as well as getting a good soaking in the process. So after round 4 Steve is in pole position with Jon Tweddle and Bruce Turnbull tying for second place. Ross Greaves had a few days on a North West water and managed to winkle out two Pike the biggest going in at 15lbs.

The region celebrated its 30th year in existence this last month. The first meeting of the region was held on the 25th January 1996 at the Hind Public House in Cramlington, Northumberland. The region was started by Mark Houghton who along with Mike Bell decided to put the wheels in motion and see what they could achieve. Thirty years on SENPAC is still going strong and most of its members have been in the club for over twenty years.
