Also, for the third year the Meredith Rotary will host A FREE FISHING CLINIC on Friday, February 6 from 6pm to 9pm at the Meredith Community Center. The event, called "Tip-up Talk" will highlight speakers AJ Nute of AJ's Bait & Tackle, John Viar of NH Fish & Game, and Travis Williams, a licensed NH fishing guide. They will discuss ice fishing tips, techniques and equipment. Sandwiches and snacks will be served and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis with seating limited to about 40 people. Also, since the child-oriented "Let's Go Fishing" event has been such a hit for two years, we will repeat the on-ice teaching clinic in 2009 on the Saturday of the Derby. Specific times have yet to be determined, but last year the clinic was once every two hours from 10am to 3pm and it was great. Lots of fun and prizes for the kids. ON-LINE TICKET SALES are now available at the website as well. Everyone who has participated in past Derby events will receive a Derby brochure in the mail that includes a mail-in registration form. For those who don't want to wait to purchase a Derby ticket or for anyone who is not part of our mailing list, the on-line ticket purchase is another option!! When you purchase a ticket online, you will receive an email notification of the purchase and the Rotary will mail your ticket to your home address. Tickets purchased on-line after January 27 will be held at Derby Headquarters in Meredith for pickup. YOU OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES!! This year a talented film crew will be photographing and filming the daily events and interviewing participants. The plan is to produce a documentary film on ice fishing in New Hampshire. It's going to be a great celebration of the 30th year for the Great Fishing Derby. Hope to see you all there !

When will a list of the winners be available for the 2010 derby?
