We are a friendly community of like-minded, dedicated anglers, all of whom respect the natural beauty and the flora and fauna of the locations where we are privileged to fish. We also respect our quarry, aiming to release fish quickly and return them safely.
The Society manages its waters with the assistance of a dedicated team of waterkeepers, but does ask willing and able members to assist on occasional work parties.
Volunteers for work parties are essential for keeping our waters in tip-top shape, not only for the enjoyment and comfort of fellow members, but more importantly for the well-being of our fish stocks and the natural environment.
Working parties take place throughout the year and if you’ve got any relevant specialist skills that might be useful you’ll be particularly welcome. However, if you’ve no particular skills, there’ll still be a job for you!
The Society can also offer support to those who want to develop their fishing skills. The Coarse Section arranges an instructional children’s day and the Trout Section holds fishing clinics over the season, given by Society members who are qualified game angling instructors and other angling professionals.
The AGM of the Society, which is combined with a social evening, is held in the Spring and there is also a social and prize-giving evening every Autumn.
