Thanks to the 8 anglers who fished – £200 was raised for the Acorns Childrens Hospice.

Following confirmation of an outbreak of KHV (carp virus) in Worcestershire during July (see link – to the article on gov.co.uk), the Angling Trust have distributed signs to remind anglers to ensure that all fishing tackle, especially nets and weighing mats, are cleaned and dried after fishing sessions to help avoid transfer of the virus (along with other invasive diseases) between fisheries. These signs have been installed at all our fisheries – please follow the instructions to help protect our fish!

Thanks to Kevin Pearson (Angling Trust Enforcement Officer) and Dave Swift (Environment Agency) who joined us at Grove Farm this week to discuss Operation Leviathan and offer advice on litter and bailiffing issues. They will continue to take an interest in the venue – please report any suspicious activity to the committee so we can help to target their efforts.

Thanks to the 10 anglers who fished – over £100 was raised for the Acorns Childrens Hospice.

The fish were still in top condition following their journey from Lincolnshire, and were already feeding voraciously on float-fished maggots by the afternoon!
