Pay it forward part 1

[Jim_From_Zim]

Hi All

Its that time of the year again when I get an itch that needs to be scratched (no funny guessing here allowed... :eusa_whistle: )

I'm busy with another Pay It Forward campaign where by I have amassed around 100 packs of plastics again and so far 1 spinning rod (Thanks Rory) and a spinning reel. My plan this time round is to try separate them into 5 grand packages comprising of around 20 packs of plastics, a rod and reel each, some line and perhaps a few hooks/sinkers etc. Basically an all in one starter pack, so to speak.

I know its a little late for the christmas cheer, but if all goes well I'll be aiming for hand out in Mid Jan to early Feb next year.

This time round to allow for people to assist from various parts of the country, I'd like to nominate a few people to assist me (If I may?) Here goes:
I'm now based in Jhb so thats an easy one
Rip for Eastern Cape
Navrik (Rob) for Western Cape
and maybe if Ninja or Jeremy in KZN be willing to assist me from there? :eusa_pray:
My idea is that any willing donators in those respective area's please send your unwanted goodies to the named guys above, I will then in turn liaise with them to get it sent to me up in Jhb. I'll then allocate the packs for sorting and then re-send to the less fortunate people that will be selected. They can be from anywhere in the country, I'll pay for the courier to deliver direct to their door

In the past, I've always shy'd away from donating these P.I.F packs to juniors, main reason being is they have parents to support them, but I think this time round we should open it up to ANY one that is less fortunate and deserving of the parcels. (perhaps have criteria that they need to post their first outing as a report back here)

So, the big question again is: Are there any willing donators out there that can contribute to the bigger cause? I'm looking for unwanted rods, reels, spools of line, hooks, sinkers. Honestly, I have enough plastics, but if you wish to donate your (not so often used) plastics then I'll gladly accept them too. Any fishing caps/hats, branded shirts etc will also be greatly accepted for the packs.

Please guys, go home this evening and whilst you're staring aimlessly at your tackle drinking a cold beer tonight, please have a look see what you dont use and consider to donate it that I can add to the P.I.F parcels.

You're welcome to either post a reply here, or drop me a PM and we can chat off line.

Thanks guys, seasons greetings to you and your families. Hope to hear from you all soon :eusa_pray: :eusa_pray: :eusa_pray:
