	7 January 2021 - All Waters Open

	We are pleased to advise that all Pulborough AS (Excl Brinsbury Pond) waters will reopen on Friday 8 January 2021, subject to the strict regulations below as advised by the Angling Trust; Please bear in mind these key points: This is a strictly limited resumption of LOCAL fishing and very different to how we have been allowed to operate since May. We are in a National Lockdown and this must be respected. The law requires a ‘reasonable excuse’ to leave your home or penalties will apply. The Government has recognised that fishing can be seen as exercise, which is expressly permitted under the lockdown rules, although outdoor recreation is not. Organised sporting gatherings are prohibited so no match fishing. The exercise is limited to once a day so no overnight fishing whatsoever. To remain within the law you should follow the Government’s guidance, and only fish locally within the district where you live. If you have no local fishing available then you will have to take your daily exercise in other ways. Full Government guidance on travel can be found here We are once again able to enjoy the sport we love at a time when many others cannot and we must ensure that every angler adheres to the rules. The Angling Trust have worked extremely hard to reach this position and we as anglers have a duty to abide by the strict conditions under which fishing is once again permitted. With infection rates and death tolls rising we must stick to the Government’s rules and ensure that angling remains part of the solution and does not cause problems.

	23 December 2020 - Matches Cancelled.

	With the new restrictions the match on Sunday will be cancelled and matches will not be allowed until further notice so I will probably not be able to reschedule the postponed matches. So they will have to be written off for this season. Anyone with trophies to be returned can ring or phone me to arrange dropping off or collection.
