Gates, Locks & Alcohol & Drugs
It is a condition of lease that the access points we use remain locked at all times. Once you have passed through a gate you must lock it even if you find it open. This is for site security and obvious Health & Safety factors especially on working sites like the Match Pit. If the gate is found to be open by the land owner or manager then that lease may be terminated meaning no-more fishing at that site.The majority of our members are sensible and abide by the rules. If you are in the minority then please understand that your membership will be withdrawn if you are caught!
The rule regarding alcohol & drugs was brought in through misuse by the minority. The rule is simple; zero alcohol and illegal drugs on all our waters. If you are caught with alcohol on the bank, or in an intoxicated state through drink or illegal drugs, please don't expect to remain a member.

Clubmark for Angling is the Angling Development Board's accreditation scheme for clubs. It is a national recognition of clubs that demonstrate they are working towards minimum operating  standards.


Why do Clubmark for Angling?

Clubs achieving the Clubmark for Angling Award are:

  • recognised as working towards providing a safe, effective and child friendly angling environment
     
  • being recognised and chosen by County Sports Partnerships, Local Authorities and the Environment Agency as clubs with which to work and support
     
  • more able to gain access to additional funding opportunities
     
  • sending a clear message to parents that the needs of children have been thoroughly considered and addressed
