The club is receiving many calls about membership at the moment. Members are reminded that the “club office” is only a contact number manned by volunteers – they are not able to answer some days or evenings. If you leave a message someone will return your call ASAP. Any member who has not paid the £3.50 charge for next seasons key will not be sent one and will be unable to enter our locked fisheries on 1st June.

The Carp Match arranged for the weekend of the 19/20th of May 2012 will go ahead. We still only have a handful of people who have entered. Anyone wishing to participate can still enter, just phone 01582- 879382 to pay the £10 entry fee. This fee is non refundable, but will be used to build a prize fund. Depending how many actually take part, we will decide on the day amongst those who have paid, if the prize fund should be split between 1st 2nd possibly 3rd or if the “winner takes all.”

There is one more work party before the end of the season so if you are able to lend a hand please visit the website and register your details.

Elliot Archer 22lb commonAs in previous years, attending a work party will mean you do not have to pay a work party levy if in an eligible membership class. It is important that all those that plan attending the Biddenham work party bring with them as many tools as possible to use on the day eg spades, shovels, hammers, rakes etc
