Secretary’s Blog – April 2024


Match Progress

Now well into the close season it’s all about matches on Canals and Pools, three Canal matches and three matches on pools have been completed.

On the Pools we have some of the River Anglers taking part and turnout has been good.

The recent match on Siblings used both pools and we paid a first & a second on each pool. The points allotted, bonus peg, winner take all and club prize money were all unaffected, only the pools pay-out was changed on the day setting a precedent for the future where we use two pools.


Fladbury Bank Clearing

After 6 months of flooding from October 2023 through to April 2024 we can expect a high degree of maintenance will be required, work will start the 18th of May.

Height of the Steps

Members have said that they are struggling with the height of the steps, to lower some of the steps would result in an extra top step being added which means that we are moving further into the field. During the closed season we will see what can be done with some of the worst pegs although there is agreement to lower the steps in peg 4 and fit handrails in pegs 2 & 4.

Shrewley Pools Match, early understanding of turnout.

We have booked 10 pegs and we are expected to pay up front, if we need further pegs we again have to pay before the match as no cash is collected on match day. We are advised if we need additional pegs to inform them of the turnout the previous weekend.

Canal Series;-  Gary is on 5 with Andy on 8 points with 2 matches to go.
