Could members please refrain from relieving themselves in the swims. Just take a few steps out of the swim to go for a wee. Some of the swims smell like public toilets, and it will only get worse during this prolonged dry spell. There is a bucket in each swim which is for fish care reasons, but feel free to use this to dilute the area you have been using by throwing some lake water on the area. Please give some consideration to others.
Please be aware that the two swims opposite the farmhouse garden are now out of bounds and the fence tubing will be removed. Please only fish from the areas with tubing in the fields with fences and up to the electric fence in the horse field.

This year’s match was the tenth charity match, a milestone which proves just how much good will and generosity there is from all the anglers/officials who turned up to supported this event to raise so much money for so many worthy charities.
First off, I’d like to say that this match wouldn’t be possible without the help and support of each of the following:
Jim Hayter, Pete Woodward, Jock Stephenson, Derek Pickard, Alan Head, Steve and Vicky Mottershead, Mark and Lynda Davies, Phil Hazel, Nev & Ant and the Lakeside bailiffs who helped prepare lakeside, Dave Le Gresley, Jo Milton (Raffle draw) with special thanks to Mannings, Ryan Maye & Ian Snook and everyone who very kindly donated raffle prizes.
In some respects though, this event was a little bitter sweet after we learnt that Stephen Foster had passed away only a few weeks ago. Please see the forums for my post about this sad loss.
Match Report:
One of the core principles of this match is that it should be a fun social event, despite the intermittent rain spirits remained high from one end of the lake to the other. The majority of the anglers arrived for midday, drew their pegs and headed off round the lake to get setup. At 15:00 hours the match got underway and although at the first weigh-in the weights were down from last year it was good to see two-thirds of the anglers had something to weigh in even if it was just a small carp. As the day progressed the guys kept plugging away and some stunning fish were being caught including the biggest carp over the weekend which was caught by Mark Hughes 14lb 12oz.
Back in 2018, we purchased a new BBQ, but each year since the […]
