AGM Minutes 2023

This Sunday 3rd December the lake will be open but work on adding some siltex to the water will commence at some point through morning/lunchtime. The boat will be out on the water to distribute the powder so we apologise in advance if you still want to fish and club members are making a disruption to the water surface. The pond can remain open as usual once the product is applied. Further updates on winter stocking will be notified once delivery time scale is given by supplier

Apologies -

Welcome all to the wheatsheaf 2023 AGM- its been a challenging year with the fishing been difficult at times, but I would like to say thankyou to all our members for helping keep the pond looking well , big thankyou to all those who came down and helped on the working party days to install new pegs and the new perimeter fence  amongst other jobs down there .

REMINDER:

The wheatsheaf Angling site in Sherburn is leased to us by the Sherburn parish Council, this is a community area and open to all members of the public this includes people walking round the site or with their pets or members of the public just sitting and enjoying the surroundings, we will accommodate all abilities of Angling or any persons just visiting the club ,we get great feedback by the parish council and investment from them when required.

We do not own the site or the fish in the pond but we have to maintain the stock in the pond.

All members are classed as bailiffs if you see somebody breaking the rules go speak to them! If you feel uncomfortable doing so contact one of the committee.
