This is a message to all members who were bailiffs last year, and to anybody who would like to become a bailiff for the NAA. Please would you make contact with the new head bailiff Gary Morse, so that he can invite you to the bailiffs briefing for the new season. Gary can be reached on 07766833220.

 

It has been the committee's intention to re-open Bellwood on the first day of the season, June 16th but with regret this is going to have to be postponed for a few weeks. The water has been monitored twice daily for a number of weeks and although the oxygen levels are satisfactory and the fish are comfortable, there is still a daily occurrence of blue-green algae in the mornings.

Although measures have been taken to combat it, the weather conditions and high nutrient levels in the water seem to still produce the algae, which carries a health hazard as it is toxic to humans.

We will continue to monitor, and work with the EA, and will open the lake as soon as it is safe to do so.

Following the AGM, the new membership form is now available for download on this site, and the new prices for this year have been published. As previously announced the club no longer requires a sponsor for Associate memberships. This makes it easier to join if you are outside Newbury. The number will still be capped and waitlisted if the cap is reached, and Associates are still bound by the same rules as for all members.

Renewing members will be able to collect their permits from Bellwood on the first two Saturdays in June, or from the tackle shop as usual from June.
