Work Party - Saturday 23 May
There is to be a work party at the pond on Saturday 23 May, starting at 9am.
All members are invited to attend and help.
The work will involve general tidying and "gardening" along with some platform repairs.
Every effort put in by members means we have to spend less of the membership money on contractors.
Clubmate
The club is considering using Clubmate from 2027 to manage membership.
This is a phone app that holds your proof of membership and through which payments are made.
The club would love to hear your views and we seek to co-opt 2 members onto a steering group to help smooth the introduction. Please click the button for more details or to comment on this.
The match calendar for 2026/27 is now available.
Use the links for details.
Text messages from Wantage and Grove AC
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.
