Calling all anglers and any other members that wish to attend a fishing day.
The weather is improving and showing signs of a decent days fishing for a bit of fun.
Anyone wishing to attend a day out on a lake dont be afraid to show your interest. You dont have to be an out and out angler to attend a day like this. It will, however cost a small sum, for instance, a 1 day rod licence is around £3 ish, and average charge for the lake would be £10 ish, plus your equipment, (rod, tackle, bait etc...)
If you would be interested, a 1 day rod licence can be obtained here https://www.postoffice.co.uk/rod-fishing-licence/short or by simply walking into a post office and buying one in person. The lake charge will be while on the lake.
Im sure if more experienced anglers are going to attend then there may be a possibility of sharing some equipment between the non experienced or you could buy your own if your interested in taking up the sport for the future. I would recomend buyin your own rod and reel as a minimum which doesnt have to be very expensive.
Just thought id bump this up to freshen the idea and hopefully get the ball rolling.
Any lake venue recomendations are welcome, remember if there are a healthy number of non experienced anglers then a venue with plenty of stockies with floater fishing would be preferred as to keep the 'fun' factor for this day out.
Who knows if this is successful we may be abke to squeeze in a few more this year.

I'm really not fussed gents. Nothing is set in stone, just keeping the idea alive for any possibility. Personally I don't mind what sort of session we do, I'm equipped for a day of fun or an overnighter etc...
If there aren't any fishing newbies interested perhaps we could plan an overnighter for the more serious of us anglers?

dont forget the cats. A few around the 30 mark. I had one last year, must be pushing 40 now.
Jim is the bailiff, him and his mrs, selena run it now as the poor old guy has cancer, he came over on his cart last week and the poor bloke has lost the plot.
As for the back lake though, theres a few lumps growing in there now, had a 16 mirror off the top

You talking about the back lake I presume? I was there last week.

Hmmm just jogged my memory you posting on here.
I'm stuck at Wimbledon for the next 2 weeks, then working out of the country for 10 days, then France fishing for a week and a finishing touch of a stag weekend. So I am out
