The Hornchurch League 60 pegger (10 teams of 6)
was fished on the Grand Union Canal on Sunday 28th March covering sections
2a to 4c and although I havent received all of the results Im told by
delighted match organiser Mark Newham that the top weight was 37lb (3 carp
to 11lb and 12lb of skimmers) with 32lb second and the lowest winning
section weight was 11lb. A full list of the results will hopefully be
printed in next weeks report.
Luton AC held its AGM at the Airport Social Club
on Thursday 25th March where members learnt that the club had invested over
£20,000 in stocking and fisheries improvement work during 2009. This
investment is ongoing and is reflected by the number of work parties taking
place throughout March, April & May. Membership prices will remain unchanged
for the coming season with all waters except the river sections remaining
open for the full 12 months. It is hoped that the new Barretts Mere on the
Tingrith Complex will be open for fishing on 1st June.
The next work party is over the weekend of 10th &
11th April at the Wyboston Complex repairing the track to the lakes and
river. 20+ volunteers are required on each day and as machinery needs to be
hired it is essential that those willing to attend register before 1st
April. Unfortunately if there are not sufficient volunteers the weekends
work will have to be cancelled as there is considerable expense involved
hiring the machinery.
Check the web site home page for work
party details and registration form or contact Dave Edwards at the
club office on 01582-728114 or Joanne Edwards on 01582-603466 or
07903048280. Remember you will not need to pay the £10 work party
levy (adults and intermediates) when renewing your membership for
next season if you attend just one of the work parties.
