It seems that some members are breaking the rules ie fishing in closed swims, moaning when asked to show their licence or membership.
 

It is a condition of membership that you MUST follow all club rules, if you flaunt the rules you WILL lose your membership.
 

You have been warned.
 

Our website will be moving to a new server at our hosting company in the near future and you may experience some errors during this time.

Our site has been copied to the new server and is currently synchronising and will run side by side for a short time with the existing server, after which time the old server will be turned off.
 

All being well it should be a seamless transition, but if you do see errors, we are aware and we are working on it.

We are currently accepting membership applications, but until such time as the tackle shops are able to reopen and process applications on our behalf, memberships are only being issued by the Membership Secretary, DO NOT GO TO THE TACKLE SHOPS, THEY'RE CLOSED.

There are two choices available, either print off the membership form from the website (http://www.pulboroughas.com/Membership.htm) and post it along with your remittance to the address shown on the form, or you can print the form off, complete it and sign it, (it must be signed, otherwise under GDPR regulations we cannot contact you or send you your membership). Then scan it and email to the Membership Sec, payment can be made via bank transfer, but you must include your full name in the reference field so we can match it up with your application, bank details available on request.

Goose Green will reopen on Wednesday 13th May 2020, subject to the below restrictions

My heartfelt thanks to all who attended the work party at Goose today, the amount of work undertaken was as always astounding.

I'm sorry I didn't make it, but my ongoing health problems put me in the CV19 vulnerable category, I know I'm not the only one who wanted to be there but couldn't make it due to the virus precautions, better safe than sorry.

On behalf of the membership - Thank you all.

Everyone should do what they can to stop coronavirus spreading, It is particularly important for people who:

• are 70 or over
• have a long-term health condition
• are pregnant
• have a weakened immune system

Stay at home if you have either:

• a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

You'll need to stay at home if you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) or live with someone who does.

Staying at home means you should:

• not go to work, school or public areas
• not use public transport or taxis
• not have visitors, such as friends and family, in your home
• not go out to buy food or collect medicine – order them by phone or online, or ask someone else to drop them off at your home

You can use your garden, if you have one. You can also leave the house to exercise – but stay at least 2 metres away from other people.

Whilst our fisheries remain open (except those subject to a statutory close season), we all need to do what we can to help stop the spread of this virus, so in addition to the above official advice, we also require that if you do go for a fish, you separate yourselves from each other, i.e. do not fish two people to a swim, but have at least one swim free between you and the next angler, do not hang around in groups, ie in the car park or crowd around other anglers, they may well be your friends and you may well like a good chin-wag, but just because you may not exhibit the symptoms, it doesn't mean you don't have it or have had it and could by association with others contribute to the spread of the virus.

The ponds will still be there when this crisis is over, please don't be a hero and ignore the official advice just for the sake of going fishing, your health and the health of others is far more important.

We will as always monitor the official advice being given and will act accordingly as circumstances dictate.

Anglers.

Please note that whilst you are entitled to fish with more than one rod, you are not entitled to fish more than one swim at a time, you and ALL your tackle must be in one peg.

Just because you have an alarm or baitrunner set, does not give you the right to spread your tackle out in multiple swms, it is also contrary to National Rod Fishing Byelaws, which state;
 

In reply to some questions from members.

At the present time all club events, ie the work party on the 21st March and the match calendar are still going ahead, however the situation will be monitored and if the official guidance changes in respect of this virus, then, we will take their advice and act upon it accordingly.

Thanks go to Chairman Paul, Allan, Terry & Paul for planting a shed load of trees around the works area of Heron today.

The Alders that we have planted will not only give good bank side cover once they have established, but their roots will help reinforce the ground and facia to the pond, as well as taking up moisture from the immediate area.

Thanks chaps
