WORKING PARTY.
We are having a working party at Cawdor on the 27th April, Saturday afternoon, this will be a general clean up, litter pick and pruning back of trees. Any one who can spare a few hours would be made welcome. Please remember it`s your club and this work is for every ones benefit.
Directors Meeting.
The latest meeting took place on the 5th April. There was a discussion with regards to day tickets at Matlock Bath, the paper shop that sold the tickets for the club has closed and another could not be found. After arguing all the pros and cons, it was voted to finish the day tickets and make all club waters available to members only. The strimmer and pruning saw has been purchased and already been put to use. The new signs have started to be put up by Nigel Ellis and are looking really good. It was reported that canoes are using our land at Darley Bridge as a launching area, to try and stop this it was voted to erect fencing and put up new signs to try and put a stop to it. The club is a member of the Angling Trust, this provides various benefits including a public liability insurance.

It is with great sadness, that the club has lost one of its most liked members. Gordon Hartwell passed away after a short illness. Gordon was a regular competitor on most club matches for many years and loved his trips over to Ireland. The highlight of Gordans fishing was winning the senior national outright. You will be sadly missed Gordon by all who knew you.
