NEW MEMBERSHIPS
We are now accepting new members please go to the membership page and/or CLICK ON “BUY A MEMBERSHIP” and assure that the photo you need to upload is a passport style or computer selfie head and shoulders picture, because if you upload a bad picture you cannot change it afterwards, only the secretary can change the photograph once uploaded (data protection reasons). Also ensure the address and postcode are complete, otherwise you will not receive your ID card and your membership will be invalid. Also there may be a delay in the cards arriving due to the addition this year of a rule book to your membership welcome pack, you will receive an ID card, a gate key and an association rule book. So please be patient and you can use your welcome email/receipt of payment as your permit until everything arrives, just show it to the bailiff.
Please be aware that your ID card will take approximately 2 weeks to arrive through the post along with your gate key, if you want to go fishing please use your email receipt/confirmation as your permit until your card arrives. Also if you need a gate key before yours arrives, local tackle shops sell them for £5, please take along your email receipt/Confirmation to buy one, a spare is always useful anyway.
All new members please read the general club rules on the website before starting to fish, but also visit the water page that you want to fish and read the write up as there may be more specific water rules on that page, also read the local water rules which are on notice boards at the venues
