Last year this post was placed on FB I believe now is a timely reminder to all members to take a few minutes to ensure you are familiar with and understand what membership entails and the protocols of our club. In addition to the post below, this year already we have had incidents of a car driving down the track to Bushey leys and getting stuck to drop off members at peg 38. not only is this not allowed the gate at peg 38 has been locked for security reasons since last year. Now Ron is having to do rig checks again because of the recent braid hooklength rig ( see his post ). I think most would agree that the club is tolerent in many instances however we will take a harder line in the future.
Last years post : –
The committee reviewed the rules for all aspects of fishing last year prior to the new handbook going to print. The rules are considered to reflect the best interests of anglers, environment and of course our fish stocks.
All members should be conversant with the information contained in the handbook and especially the rules applicable to the type of fishing you elect to choose.
Several instances have been reported to the committee recently, of infringements of the rules, hence this reminder to all members.
Recurring instances of leaving rods unattended, electronic bite alarms with sound turned on and using 2 rods have all occurred recently. In addition a BBQ has been used on a platform which has damaged the rubber matting. Furthermore the Bailiff reports rubbish has been dumped at the lake.
This is a friendly reminder and not a debate to ensure all anglers adhere to the rules contained in the handbook. Finally common sense is to be used at all times, we can’t incorporate every eventuality into the handbook, hence we rely on you the angler to ensure your fishing session is, safe, enjoyable, does not infringe the rules and protects the environment together with our fish stocks.
