2025 Venue List now issue 4.

Having to re-schedule the Fladbury Cup Match to 9/8/2025 has caused an upgrade of the venue list to issue 4, copies available on request. The Avatar at the top of the river chat group has also been updated,

Venue Selection

This season we are asking members to suggest venues for 2026 & a handout will be supplied, we need your response before the September Committee meeting.

Bank Clearing

We had the Tractor down followed by a session on Martin’s Boat. Then Bank Clearing sessions in May & June means we were ready to go well before the start of the season. A superb effort from the guys.

Opening Day Knock Up

Roger ran a scramble at Fladbury on the opening day of the season won by Keith (Kite) in peg 22 weighing 25lb of Chub on the Bolo using maggot. A great start to the season.

Knock Up’s results on the Website

Last season largely due to Rogers efforts we ran several scrambles & created a new source of revenue as non-members attending paid a £3 peg fee. Many Knock Up’s went unrecorded so this season results from “Knock Ups” will be recorded on the main web site. Search;- Members/ Full/ Match Results/ Knock Ups.

Canal & River Trust Match Results

This season I am putting Girling AS Results onto the Canal & River Trust website, Search;- Canal & River Trust/ Things to Do/ Fishing/ Matches & Competitions.

The opening day Fladbury scramble is there under the heading of 22nd of June.

Match Chat

Blythe was supposed to be huge Bream, skimmers & stockies but most had 2-3lb Carp in the net. The winner caught on meat. One very large Bream was lost at the net.

The Fladbury Cup was postponed until 9/8/2025 due to very hot weather.

Broadacres Charlies. First match win for our Junior member Marcus, well done mate.
