The Club has published this Chairman’s Annual Statement in lieu of an AGM. The statement highlights Club news, issues and details of planned works for Club waters. Any members with questions or proposals will be able to submit them to the Club via the Email link below.

Please note the Club will not be renewing our Lease at Mill Farm, Tasburgh next year. The lake needs considerable work and money to be spent on it and with the low number of members fishing this was not financially viable. The Club tried to negotiate a reduced long term lease with the Agent but were unable to reach an agreement so it was decided that it was in the Clubs best interest not to renew the Lease. We would like to express our thanks to the owners for the years we have had the lake.

The Club has had a sound financial year for the 2023/24 season which has enabled us to hold membership fees at the same level for the next year.

Good catches have been reported from all our venues, plenty of nice carp now coming out from Little Melton approaching double figures and some nice tench now getting caught at Great Melton and Melton Ponds 3.

As a Club we are always aiming to improve our venues, we are continuing to upgrade the fishing platforms, maintain and upgrade the Otter Proof fencing and install solar powered aeriation systems to improve water quality. We will also continue to restock as and when financially viable.

The Club holds regular work parties on all our lakes to improve the facilities for members and are vital to the continued success of the Club, if you would be interested in helping the Club please contact the Chairman for further details. I would also like to thank the team of helpers who work tirelessly on these work parties to carry all the tasks that are necessary to keep all the Clubs venues in good working order.

Membership renewal applications will be posted out to members at the end of February, start of March. 

If you have any queries on any issues please contact the Chairman on the Email link below.

We hope you have enjoyed your fishing this season and look forward to your continued membership for the new season. 

Tight Lines.

P Norton, Club Chairman
