ANNOUNCEMENT TO MEMBERS FISHING NEWTON PARK

It has been brought to the attention of the committee that some members fishing at Newton Park are leaving litter.

This matter has been pointed out by the Bath Spa College Administration (who control the fishing rights that BAA rents), BAA bailiffs and members.

If this situation continues it is likely that Newton Park will become unavailable to members to fish.

Anyone found leaving litter at the lake or college grounds, including the car park will face disciplinary action from BAA and it is likely a considerable ban will be imposed.

Any member seeing littering should if possible report this to a BAA official.

PLEASE TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME.

The waste bin at Newton Park is being removed from site and that it is the responsibility of each member to take their litter home when leaving site.

I would like to present the Chew Mink Project again to you and your brilliant club members. We will be deploying more rafts across the River Chew to monitor mink and other wildlife in an attempt to improve the river for fishing. We cannot do this without volunteers to monitor the rafts so I am asking if anybody is interested in a low-commitment opportunity to improve the fishing in their local waters?

Monitoring will involve checking the rafts once every couple of weeks (or less) and reporting your findings to me. I will meet you on-site when suits to give you a brief overview of the rafts, clay and mink identification then help you set up the rafts and deploy them.

This is a great opportunity to get back out onto the river and contribute to improving the fishing in your favourite stretch!

I would appreciate it if you could share the message with your members and look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,
