APOLOGY FOR THE STATE OF THE CLUBS FISHERIES.

 

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR I HAVE HAD TO APPOLOGISE TO THE MEMBERSHIP ABOUT  ISSUES WITH THE CLUBS FISHERIES. CURRENTLY OUR FISHERIES ARE IN NEED OF MAINTENANCE MAINLY TO CUT THE GRASS AND CLEAR THE PATHS OF BRAMBLES & NETTLES FOULING THEM THAT IS PREVENTING ACCESS TO PEGS.  

 

THE LACK OF MAINTENANCE IS THE RESULT OF A CONTINUING LACK OF MEMBERS ATTENDING PLANNED WORK PARTIES WITH ONLY CLUB BAILIFFS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS MOSTLY TURNING UP.  THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT SOME OF THE PLANNED WORK HAS TO BE CONTINUALLY POSTPONED. WORK ALSO HAS INCREASED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS RESULTING FROM LOW WATER LEVELS THAT HAS MEANT UNCONTROLLABLE AMMOUNTS OF WEED GROWING ON OUR GREEN LANE FISHERY.

 

I AM AWARE THE VIRUS HAS HAD A SERIOUS EFFECT ON PEOPLES MOVEMENTS BUT THE DECLINE IN NUMBERS ATTENDING WORK PARTIES WAS HAPPENING BEFORE THIS YEAR. THE RESULT OF ALL THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE NOW WHEN VISITING THE FISHERIES.  WE DID HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH THREE OLDER COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO DO SOME WORK MIDWEEK BUT THEY ALSO ARE NOW UNABLE TO TO IT FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

 

SO THIS MEANS WE DO NEED SOME VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY WHO ARE WILLING TO SPEND JUST A FEW HOURS MIDWEEK DOING THIS WORK, ALL TOOLS WILL BE SUPPLIED.

 

THE CLUB IS DESPERATE TO RESOLVE THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO MEMBERS CAN ENJOY THE FISHING AGAIN.  IF YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS PLEASE GET INTOUCH WITH ME SO I CAN MAKE THE NECCESSARY ARRANGEMENTS.
