As a result of both the floods which are still impacting on some beats and lakes but principally as a result of Covid19 and Government movement restrictions the committee has decided to close all club fisheries for the next three week period of the most stringent controls. We will review our position in the light of government guidance at the end of that period. This is to protect members, the staff, the wider public and public services from any impact however small it may be that our activities may have. Other clubs in the area have already made similar decisions or are reviewing their position. The Angling Trust have given clear guidance that we should refrain from fishing during this period.

It is to some extent fortunate that we are not yet quite in to the game season and that the coarse season is winding down for its closed periods. We can only hope that we will be back on the water soon.

Our staff will be working but their contact with members will be strictly limited, The Cart Shed is now locked. Where possible keepers will work from home and will be keeping an eye on their waters avoiding all physical contacts wherever possible.

The committee would like to thank all our members for their understanding at this very difficult time in the club’s history and urge that you support each and every effort to deal with this crisis.

As well as Email communication updates will be posted on the Web Site and Forum
