Yet another day of hard work. Volunteers, ably lead by Bobby, the River Keeper and Stewart, the club Secretary, felled trees and cleared the river bank ‘at the top end’. Two weirs were built into the hatchery water supply to help prevent solids from entering the ponds and all were sustained by pork pies and jaffa cakes. The next working party will be on 22nd June 2019.
We had a fantastic Working Party day in June and have dramatically
improved access to several hundred metres of fishing above the Lodge to the
extent that we are looking at a series of further steps down the bank. We also
increased pork pie and Jaffa Cake consumption substantially! We finished at
16.00 (all completely knackered!) so we’d like to finish off a section on the 23rd June,
0900 at the Hatchery.
We’d also like to organise a further day on the 15th September
(same deal on pie and Jaffa Cake bribery).
Volunteers got into action to do some work at the Hatchery. They tidied up the ground works after sorting out pipes. It is planned to turf this area and has already been dubbed ‘Stewart’s Lawn’! Hopefully this will be resplendent for the planned Hog Roast in the summer. However on this occasion the 9 volunteers were suitably nourished with Pork pies and jaffa cakes!
Members joined together at the hatchery for a wonderful hog roast in July. We were able to see all the improvements that the working party had achieved along with meeting Bobby, the river keeper and his girlfriend. Fortunately the weather was kind, the rain keeping off until later.
