Special note on match days rules from the club sec
(1) Please note that on match days the venue listed on the fixture list is closed to all except those taking part in the match (competition rule 6). Proceedings on Sunday were marred by the appearance of a member intent on doing some 'swim clearance' at the side of peg 7 despite an angler in the match being at peg 8. Please do not undertake bankside clearances without the express permission of the baliff and/or the secretary.
(2) Please also note rule 29 - all waters (except the R.Ouse and the Horse Pasture) are permanently pegged and members must fish from these pegs and not create new swims.
MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL SEC ON SWIM CLEARANCE
Further to my message regarding swim and bankside work
SOMEONE HAS CLEARED AN AREA OF THE BOTTOM BANK OF THE WILDERNESS AT L.ROWFANT TO CREATE A NEW SWIM. THIS IS IN CONTRAVENTION OF RULE 29
Do not undertake bankside clearances without the express permission of the baliffs and/or the secretary.
Please note rule 29 - all waters (except the R.Ouse and the Horse Pasture) are permanently pegged and members must fish from these pegs and NOT create new swims.- Gen.sec.
Closed Pegs at Wilderness
Would all members note that PEGS 1- 7 inc. on the Wilderness Lake at L.Rowfant will
be closed from Saturday 14 November until further notice. This is to allow essential
works to the bank (which is subsiding) and is in a very dangerous condition. Heavy
plant machinery will be in use so please avoid these pegs.
