So your annual AGM was last Friday evening. We would like to thank everyone who attended. It was nice to see people and also nice that everyone is happy about the wellbeing of your association. There was a motion brought by Max Bygraves regarding dead baiting for pike on our venues. His proposal was that we should only allow dead baiting for pike between 1st October & 14th March inclusive. He cited the welfare of the species and the fact that they are a species we would never get permission to stock should something go wrong. His explanation was well received and it was put to the members present to consider. The result was unanimous and in favour of the motion. Therefore Pike fishing with twin hook rigs will only be permitted between 1st October & 14th March inclusive. on all of our waters. This new rule will come into effect from 1st January 2025 to give us time to update things from our end. These rules will not apply to single hook small deadbeats for perch & or eels.
Please do not make negative comments about this new rule if it doesn't fit in with you then you should have come and registered your opposition at the AGM

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
There has been a motion put forward for this weeks AGM asking to amend the pike fishing rules on deadbaiting.
The motion says that in order to protect this sensitive species I propose that the rules for pike fishing be changed to only allow deadbaiting between the 1st October and 14th March.
No bait fishing for pike outside of these dates.
If you have an interest in this it may be a good idea to attend and register your vote.
Your committee and officials will abstain from voting on this motion.
This is your club and you set the rules.
Please do not reply to this post citing your opinion we are only giving you notice of a motion that is coming up it is entirely up to you if you wish to support it or not at this weeks AGM
