Text Box: The new angling year is upon us once again and the 2011 season promises to be equally successful as last. 
All our waters have been fishing reasonably well and some fine specimens have come to the net. The chub, and other species in the river have shown to be in fine fettle and have given good sport. The carp at Shillinglee and Malthouse, although a little shy, have rewarded the specimen guys for their patience.  Malthouse has also provided the pleasure anglers with many days of utter enjoyment catching well, while at the same time, contemplating the magnificent surroundings. Jubilee Fields pond is continuing to mature and maintaining the enthusiasm of the novice anglers. Lastly, the match-men have had a good season with more than satisfactory weights being recorded (however, the weather wasn’t too much in their favour towards the end of the year). 
So, from the various reports submitted, it would appear that most members’ expectations have been realised whatever their preferred disciplines with a rod and line.
Your committee has approved a programme of restocking at Malthouse and Shillinglee. This is part of the ongoing fishery management scheme to introduce new blood lines and maintain the existing stock levels.

Bar available and free food.
IMG_18974-river-arun[1]Text Box:  General maintenance has continued throughout the year and, amongst other things, we have seen major improvements to the parking facility at Malthouse and work on the dam at Shillinglee is scheduled for completion in the near future. It is only with the support of members at working parties that much of this work is attained, so if you want to put something into the club, please try to come along. See dates below. 
Last summer saw a full programme of teach-ins at Jubilee Fields to introduce the sport to our next generation of anglers and other novices. A similar series of sessions are planned for this year.
Finally, remember that all our waters are patrolled by our bailiffs. Apart from checking your membership they are there to make sure other rules are adhered to. Please help them to help you enjoy your angling. Have a good season and hope to see you at the AGM. on 26th March.
