At this moment in
time I don’t know how many
of last years members have
already renewed or intend to
renew their membership of
the Syndicate in 2015.
However you are receiving
this newsletter in the hope
that one or the other
applies.
We have revised the
Conditions & Rules slightly
over last year, doing away
with the one visit per venue
per week clause and the
single fly only rule, as fly
fishing has moved on since
the rules were first
formulated and it will
therefore now be quite
legitimate to fish say a
buzzer suspended from a dry
fly, which is quite an
exiting and relaxing way of
fishing as a change from
pulling a lure through the
water.
The combination code for all
the padlocks will be changed
prior to the season opening
on 1st March at Piplye and
21st March at Cinder Hill,
the new numbers being shown
in the copy of the
Conditions & Rules you
receive as part of your 2015
membership package.
Work Parties
I realise that maybe it’s
rather short notice, but now
that things have dried up a
bit, we will hold a pre
season Work Party at
Piplye on Saturday
21st February. The work
involved will be a general
tidy up of the bank side
vegetation, cleaning out the
drainage ditches on the
field side of Grubbero Pool,
removal of any leaves etc
that has accumulated in the
silt traps over the winter
on Grubbero since cleaning
them out last autumn,
re-installation of
scarecrows and a hawk kite
to try & deter the
cormorants, plus any other
little jobs that need
attention. Tools required:
spades, forks, swaps,
loppers, shears, rakes,
strimmers or anything else
you think might be useful.
As usual we will muster on
site at around 9 a.m. and it
would be helpful if
possible, that could you
please let me know if you
are able to attend,
otherwise just turn up, I’m
sure we will find plenty for
you to do, let’s hope the
weather co-operates.
Further work parties will be
arranged as necessary at
both Cinder Hill & Piplye as
the season progresses.
Best regards and tight lines
in 2015, I hope to see some
of you on the 21st.
Mike Richardson, Syndicate
Organiser.
