Charity open Aug 16th
This years event was very well attended and Roy collected £600 on the day to be passed on to the Royal Brompton Hospital. Roys thanks went to Roger and Dave for running the event for him and his wife Sarah for running the raffle. Thanks also to those who donated raffle prizes on the day. Sadly due to Covid restrictions there was no representative of the Hospital present on the day so no presentation but the funds will be transferred direct to the hospital trust. Big thanks also to Roy Fiander who put the charity event together every year.

On Sunday 12th July 2020 11 year old junior member Lily Thrumble landed a 22lbs common carp at Broadwater in the swim next to the Oaks.
Lily was fishing with her Dad, senior member Robert, but played, netted and landed the carp with no help at all from him.
The carp was rather too heavy for Lily so her Dad is holding it in the photo.
