AGM
The clubs AGM will take place next Monday evening 30th March at 7:30pm at Kingstanding Pools HQ, If you wish to attend please bring with you your current membership card as you will not be allowed in without it.
KINGSTANDING POOLS
There will be a work party on the bottom pool around the dam wall area on Tuesday 31st March
ARCHER’S POOL
Archer’s Pool bankside has been closed until further notice, due to waterlogged bank and heavily rutted by vehicles.
GATES
Gates are being left open on a regular basis on a number of our waters, I can only think it is new members, as this level of occurrence was not as high previous to opening up the membership. Please will all new members realise that our water leases depend on these gates being opened, closed and locked. anyone found to be leaving gates open or unlocked will be disciplined and may even lose their new membership.
PIKE FISHING IS NOW CLOSED.
NEW MEMBERS MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY ALLOWED TO FISH FOREMARK RESERVOIR. THIS IS DONE ON AN APPLICATION ONLY BASIS, THIS IS DUE TO THE AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH THE NATIONAL TRUST AND THE SAILING CLUB WHO ALLOW US TO FISH THERE.
Once a member, you can apply to fish Foremark by email to: secretary@burtonmutual.co.uk your email must contain your name, your membership number and you car registration that will be used to get there, after which you will be added to the list and a car pass will be issued.
We are looking for water managers and assistant water managers once again send in a mail to the secretary on secretary@burtonmutual.co.uk the waters we are looking for managers/assistant managers are:
- Caldwell
- Callingwood/Rangemoor Estate
- Staunton Harold Reservoir
Foremark Reservoir
We have now filled the allocation of members required to fish on Foremark Reservoir, no more names will be taken until next year when we will assess numbers and open up again if required.
There is always a reason for rules, we try and keep them to a minimum but it is getting harder to gain access to all waters as land owners do not need the hassle of people leaving gates open or getting stuck in fields or taking liberties with trust. so please bare with us, this is the first season on Foremark hopefully it is productive and the fishery will get better and better with time.
Therefore anyone who wants to be considered for fishing on the reservoir needs to email me on secretary@burtonmutual.co.uk with your name, membership number and vehicle registration number, these names will be added to log sheet and allocated car passes to allow them to fish at Foremark.
