Night Tickets( Dusk to Dawn)

The following instructions are for the new night ticket arrangement. The policy is the same as it was last year except there is no need to send in cheques. Either scheme must be purchased when you renew your membership. They will not be available at any other time.

There are two schemes.

A £30 Season Pass .This allows the member to fish whenever space allows. We will try and give each member at least one weekend session a month. Weekend and midweek sessions are bookable a month in advance. This scheme also allows for mid week bookings at short notice. You can ring 24hrs before your intended session commences to see if there is space on any of the waters. As before you are limited to a 48hr session with no return to that water for 48hrs.
A £10 Three Session Ticket. This will allow you to fish up to 3 24hr sessions a season. You can only buy one of the short session passes per season. The same booking arrangements apply as in 1 above.
Concessions are not available for these tickets.

When the club knows the number of tickets sold it may be possible to cater for more sessions a month. The aim is to offer members as much night fishing as space permits. We shall have 4 bailiffs checking licenses. You may well be checked during the hours of darkness. Please co-operate with them as it is in all members interest that we police the waters to deter poaching.
