Latest match news on crisis

Hi All

Match Secretary Roger Howe has been told by Hospital to self isolate for a minimum of 12 weeks so obviously he will not be running matches until crisis over. The Wed open at Marsh Farm Richardson lake on Wed 25th has been cancelled however the club match on Sunday 28th at Willow park will go ahead run by Dave Woolgar unless the Fishery has to close. It has to be said that the remaining fixtures in this years book are now in serious doubt so please check before booking in. Roger remains contactable by e mail and phone if you need to get more information.

Sun 12th December venue change  

Due to access issues with British rail during electrification line work Twyford had to cancel the match on the River Kennet on the 12th Dec. At short notice we have got the causeway bank of Gold lake at Gold Valley. Please note a minimum of two nets required I carp one silvers and there are net limits so best to take extra if possible.

GAS Teams of Four end of an era

Following the final round of the 2018 "Fours" it was decided to end this annual series as it has run its course. The final league was won by Matchangler.com with Pete Salmon top individual (See match results and League tables pages). The Fours were originally started as a local club alternative to the Winter leagues that had were fishing venues further away than most wanted to travel. It started with 10 teams using our larger club venues and local canals and over the years has averaged eight teams but the last couple it has been a struggle for teams to keep together over six matches especially this final year. As Match Secretary it has involve a lot of work with all the admin and pegging etc but it has been enjoyable and my team including Dave Lake Paul Etherington and Dave Carter even managed to win the series one year. I would like to thank all those who have helped over the years to make such a successful series.

We will be looking to try something different next season like Secret Pairs matches so look out for those.
