The Environment Agency have agreed to fund the building of an extensive platform on Wheel Pond to help with coaching activities. Naturally all anglers will be able to use it when not being used for coaching but the work which will cost something in the region of £15 000 is nanother boost for the club resulting from the support the club offers to its juniors by working to meet certain standards via the Clubmark award. We will let you know when work starts in earnest but measuring up has already taken place.

Approximately 20 members went on the annual outing to Milemead today. The weather was a mixture of sunshine, showers and sometimes blustery conditions. The vast majority of participants elected to fish on the match lake which under the circumstances was a wise decision as all caught several Carp as well as Barbel and Chub on the feature filled lake.

The meeting opened with a disciplinary where an angler had been swimming in Dores pond to free a tethered fish. The angler got into difficulty and had to be rescued by another angler. Remember no fish is worth a life and there should be no swimming or wading on Club waters in any circumstances. The Committee thanked Jeff Martin for all his hard work on the waters over the years.
