25 November 2009 - Thakeham Village Action Calendar.

Stuck with what to get your boss, friends or Great Aunt Marge for Christmas ?

Bored with looking at dull photos of boy bands, guinea pigs on your calendar?

 

Want to support the local community ? 

 

Thank goodness TVA are here with the 2010 Laybrook Calendar for sale @ ONLY £5 !

  •  A beautiful calendar celebrating the life, countryside and communities around Laybrook and its surrounding villages, featuring PAS for February.

  • The lovely photos include Shipley, Thakeham, West Chiltington,  Ashington and Knepp Castle.

  •  Professional photographers have donated their stunning photos along with local people sharing their own. 

All in all, we've believe it shows a wonderful snapshot of the community around "Laybrook as it is now" and will help to fight the planning application for the Landfill at Laybrook, Goose Green, West Sussex.

Please note that as of 1700hrs on the 4-10-09 all email addresses for the society has been temporarily disabled due to a huge spam attack on our server, for the time being please use the following email address to contact the society pulboroughas @gmail.com, we apologise for any inconvenience and hope to restore normal service asap, regretfully any emails that have been sent in the past 24 hours will not have been received and we kindly ask that members resend their mails to the new standby address as mentioned above.

 

1 September 2009
The Thakeham Village action group are having a protest day on 12 September against the proposed landfill at Laybrook,  the road between Ashington and Peacocks Lane (B2133) will be closed to normal traffic for the duration of the march.

 

17 July 2009
It is with regret that we notify members that as of the 2nd January 2010, fishing will no longer be allowed at any of the Moor Farm Lakes, we have been advised by the landowner, and contrary to the rumour mill, that no angling in anyway shape or form by any club or private syndicate will take place at the venue, the decision to close the venue was taken as a purely commercial decision and  that the closure in no way reflects on the Society or it's members.

We would at this juncture like to thank the landowner and his family for the excellent relationship and fishing we have enjoyed for a number a years and to offer them our best wishes for the future.

Following a bailiff check at Goose Green on Saturday 27th June, a number of members were found fishing without their membership books, could members please ensure they have their memberships with them at all times whilst on our waters, as failure to produce your membership when asked to by a bailiff, could mean you will be asked to leave.

 

22 April 2009
Members will no doubt be delighted to hear that the horrible metal shed at Goose Green has today gone to the great scrap heap in the sky, the toilet has been moved to a new purpose built wooden shed that is located behind the container, thanks go out to Barry Ginnaw, Dudley Chandler, Mick Booth & Bob Pratt for cleaning and moving the toilet from it's previous location, further thanks go to Paul & Gail Holden for installing the concrete base and ramp in front of the toilet, no mean task if you saw the amount of concrete that had to be mixed and laid by hand.

Please leave the toilet in the state that you would wish to find it, i.e.; Clean & Tidy, please note the society will not be providing toilet rolls, as a footnote, when you have done what you need to do, please use only enough chippings to cover the "offending article", as too much wood chip will stop the toilet from working properly.

An on lighter note, the concrete base that housed the metal shed, once cleaned, was put into immediate use by Ray Clark as an impromptu patio this afternoon, complete with armchair, sun umbrella, table and barbecue, the only thing that was missing was the cold beers.

Eventually the base will be broken up and used as part of the car park renovations which will hopefully commence later this year.

 

11 April 2009
When parking your car at Goose Green please be considerate towards other members and park in a way as to not block the paths to the lakes as was witnessed on the 9th April, we have a number of disabled members, some of whom are in wheel chairs and they require unrestricted access to the paths, the way this particular car was parked on Thursday would have made it difficult for an abled bodied member to pass, let alone a member in a wheel chair, is walking an extra 10 yards really that much of a hardship?.

After 5 years in charge it was with sadness that the Juniors said farewell to Paul Hazeldine. As an appreciation of his hard work and dedication, Tom Brunning, Junior team captain, presented Paul with a tankard to remember the junior team.  

At the recent AGM junior team members were presented with their prizes for the last season. Will Steer was top points scorer for Pulborough juniors in the winter league, brother Josh, won the Pulborough junior open and Chris Ives won the most improved angler.  

Congratulations to all three and good luck for the forthcoming season.

 

1 March 2009
A net dip has been installed at Moor Farm fishery, ALL anglers are required to dip their nets BEFORE starting to fish, the dip has been installed at the entrance to the fishery by the car park, you have to walk past the dip to get to the lakes, so there is no excuse not to dip your nets prior to fishing.

 

1 March 2009
Our AGM took place on Friday 27th February at Ashington Community Centre. The AGM voted for a small increase in membership fees to cover the work on the car park at Goose Green later in the 2009 season, two members, Peter Van Leeuwen & Simon Parker (Jnr) were awarded honorary one year memberships in thanks for their hard work and service to the Society at Goose Green, also at the AGM we elected a new Treasurer to take over from Bob Pratt who has been fulfilling the role of Chairman & Treasurer for the past two years, we would like to welcome Andy Brunning to his new position in the Society and to thank Bob Pratt for his work as Treasurer over the past eleven years.

 

8 February 2009
We have today installed a small  number of ropes with hanging reflectors over the water at Goose Green, these ropes have been  positioned in such a way and height that they will not impede your fishing, but they will impede the landing and take off runs of the Cormorants, thanks go to the small band of members who installed them, hopefully, this latest measure will help to deter the Black Death from visiting our lakes. We are going to monitor the lakes each day to see if this latest measure has the desired effect on the Cormorants.

 

14 January 2009
Our AGM & prize presentation evening will be held on Friday 27th February 2009 at Ashington Community Centre starting at 8pm sharp, the AGM will be preceded by a prize presentation for our juniors and a short update on how the juniors have fared in their match series against other local clubs this past year, starting at 7:30pm, would all match anglers in possession of trophies from last season, please return them Barry Ginnaw as soon as possible please.
