Committee Objectives

Society Growth

Since 2017 the level of Membership has steadily grown. In 2018 the Society registered ownership and access with Land Registry and as a result 9 new pegs were produced in the lock stream, the committee will continue to grow the Society.

Finance

The objective is to continue to effectively manage Society Finances with full transparency.

Fishery

In 2017 the Committee decided to re-new all of the 26 pegs with robust steps and platforms, the objective is to maintain the fishery to a high standard throughout the season.

Vehicle Access

In 2017 the landowner allowed society members to drive into the field, this proved a to be a huge advantage affecting membership while aiding maintenance. The objective is to maintain an effective relationship with the land owner and retain the ability to park behind the pegs.
