The club will occassionally send SMS messages to your mobile phones.
These will be to advise you of events such as work parties, to warn about fishery closures or other urgent matters.
To show they are genuine the text will be addressed directly to you by name.
The system uses a bulk email system so will come from an unrecognised number.
Cormorant Predation
​
The club is taking measures to deter these birds but the best line of defense is people. If any member is passing the pond, please take just 2 minutes to drive down and scare them off.
​
If any members have any suggestions please let the committee know.
Cormorant Predation - 2
Plastic Swans
​
The club has 3 life-sized plastic swans.
In life, swans see cormorants as a threat (especially in the breeding season) and act agressively towards them.
Consequently cormorants tend to avoid swans.
​
These plastic swans are tethered to the solar panels.
There is a new fishery plan available (April 2025).
Please take a few minutes to read this, it shows where the club plans to spend your membership fees over the next couple of years.
If you have any comments or suggestions please either come to a meeting and we can discuss this or use the contact page.
