Flyrod 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 I just got in contact with a fly fishing club in Argentina. They look very interested, so I'm thinking at least 20 people might join this swap. Still waiting for reply from Chile and Mexico. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2005 I think their have been some real good points made on this swap. I for one would like to see what G.B.W.R. forwards ass to rules. Then we can decide how we bad we should beat the old record by. I dont think we should rush this, as Will said time to acheive this is an important factor.

Alex C. 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 I finally got an email from guinness today, here it is Thank you for sending us the details of your recent record proposal for 'Largest Fly Swap'. We are afraid to say that we are unable to accept this as a Guinness World Record. We receive over 60,000 enquiries a year from which only a small proportion are approved by our experienced researchers to establish new categories. These are not 'made up' to suit an individual proposal, but rather 'evolve' as a result of international competition in a field, which naturally accommodates superlatives of the sort that we are interested in. We think you will appreciate that we are bound to favour those that reflect the greatest interest. We appreciate that this may be disappointing to you. We are always keen to hear from people who wish to set a Guinness World Record. If you should need any advice regarding record breaking in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us, quoting the above membership number. Once again thank you for your interest in Guinness World Records. Yours sincerely, Amanda Sprague Records Research Services Thanks to all who had the balls to join this swap, on a side note though I think we set a record for amount of posts to a swap w/out there ever having the swap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 Kicked in the teeth by a bunch of retards! I thought for sure that this would be a great thing. You should contact them back and try again. I have found that some times things take more than one attempt. Its up to you if you decide to drop it at least give them hell for me too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sjo Crapels 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2005 If Guiness isn't big enough to have us, we might as well go on on our own. Then we will be world famous amongst us. That's okay with me too. Let's go on with the Swap! Sjo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
