During the last few days two exciting stocking events have taken place at Rawlings Retreat. Following the removal of large carp to Bellwood, 340 small carp from 1lb to 3lb were introduced, the intention being to restore the match and pleasure fishing to previous levels. During the netting bream to 10lb were discovered in Willows along with some large crucians.

Today 76 bream around 2lb each were added to Alders, to increase pleasure weights, these fish are expected to be safe from cormorant predation.

Rawlings in now going to be very different to fish, Alders developing nicely as a silver fishery, Warwicks with a population of growing crucians, and Willows should become a better match fishery.

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 with last year 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 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.

As many of you will know, Bellwood fell victim to a serious algal bloom collapse, with a subsequent de-oxygenation and serious loss of fish. As a result the water is closed. Although it has recovered it will remain closed for the foreseeable future and almost certainly to the end of the year. This is sad news for the club, but the committee and many members are working hard to restore it to a quality fishery, and this will take some time.

Here is a link to a document which is the action plan decided by the committee this week. Please read it it, and bear with us while the actions are undertaken. Any questions can be directed to the "Contact us" links, or to the forum.
