Been a member of this Forum for Years, as is often the way with hobbies I have drifted in and out of Carp fishing and in turn this forum.
Found my Carp Fishing spark again after my young son has shown an interest.
Logged in today to see this sad news.
I didn't know Old Geezer personally at all but he was the backbone of this forum.
R.I.P

So sad, had a good few pm's with Martin over the years. RIP
And does anyone know how Ken Townley is getting on, he wasn't too well last I heard but hopefully recovering well.

I've been away for a while and just read this news, so sad... OG had helped me a lot in the past - a lot of my fishing purchases were down to him in part 
Rest easy mate.

I also haven't been on here for some time and have just read this sad news, deepest sympathy to Gerrys family and friends 🥲

I've not been on here for a long time, hadn't seen this.
Gerry, you were opinionated and argumentative, and did alot of shouting but you were also very helpful and part of the furniture on here.
I was expecting to see you still at it, well it seems not to be.
RIP and Condolences to your friends and family.

I’m off camping soon using the Vango airbeam tent I bought from him .
First have a trip to Belgium 🇧🇪 with a mat I also purchased from him .
He cost and saved me a fortune in the time I knew him .
Met him personally a few times a true character that are disappearing from our beloved pastime .
Couldn’t imagine Gerry shouting “ get on the twg and spomb the granny out of it “

I went fishing at my local club water the last few days.
Personal issues had meant first time in 2 years.
Having a beer and pottering around the swim Last night it occurred to me.
That I was using the Nitecore headtorch that he recommended.
I had cooked on he stove he recommended about 20 years ago
I weighed my fish using the Tripod he recommended to me.
And I slept on the shiitest bedchair I've ever had in my days.
Oh well O.G can't win them all.
Thinking of you at least RIP mate
