BAA COMMITTEE

Illegal moring at Newbridge.

The BAA committee is well aware of the problems members are encountering when trying to fish at Newbridge.

There has been dialogue between BAA and the canal and rivers trust with regards to this matter but unfortunately nothing came from those discussions to assist in resolving the problem.

However the administration representing the Duchy of Cornwall to Whom BAA pays to utilise the fishing rights has contacted the committee with a view to holding a meeting with other interested parties such as BANES and the rowing club. This will take place on the 11th of August

The outcome of the meeting will be published for our members to view.
