Foulridge Update:
The club have been working with the sailing club over the past few months
in an attempt to improve parking and access for our members. The sailing club
have been very open to working together on this and we have made some progress.
WE have now agreed the following with them.
Our members can now use the main car park by the sailing club, but please
only use the bottom area of the car park. On Saturdays & Sundays is when the
sailing club have their meets, and they ask that we leave enough room for them
to park as well.
We have also agreed to lease an area of the boatyard on the opposite bank.
This will be for the club to put a container to store tools etc in, allow access
for work parties and some imited parking for matches. This area will only
be accessible via a member of the committee and WILL NOT be for general parking.
We have had some conversations with them regarding Issues between boats
and anglers, such as tangling lines, and they are going to look at this. From
our side, we ask that members consider using back leads (we understand this
isn’t always possible) when the boats are out.
There should be no fishing in the area between the clubhouse and the ramp.
Pegs start after the ramp and fishing is allowed along the entire dam wall from
the ramp.
We ask all members to respect the sailing club and their members, and should
you experience any issues, please contact one of our bailiffs or committee members
who can deal with it. We are trying to build a working relationship with
the sailing club to help the club going forward and this will only be maintained
by us all sticking to these agreements. Abusing this will result in us losing
these facilities.
Thanks

GOOD NEWS FOR The CLUB
The Club would like to say a massive thank you to Suez Recycling and Waste
UK as they
have donated to the Club some sleepers and power tools as part of their recycling
programme.
It all came about after one of our bailiffs Brett Hall talked to Simon Brown,
a long serving member who also works for Suez as a H and S Advisor for the
northern team. He asked the Club to write a letter to Suez explaining what projects
we were undertaking for the Club ie new pegs and repairing the existing pegs
on our waters.
The Club would like to say a big thank you to Simon Brown for being the go-between,
between Suez and the Club.
The committee would like to ask for volunteers to help on the working parties,details
of dates and times will be on facebook. This is your Club, hope you can help.

STOCKING FOR ROWLEY 2023 On 15th of November we
have continued our commitment to rowley today by adding another 12 stunning C4
carp from 5 Star Fisheries. These ranged from 10 to 13lbs and we think you will
agree that there are some absolute stunners. Over the past 4 years we have continued
to stock Rowley with these quality fish and we are definitely seeing the benefits
We have today 28thNovember stocked 3 more carp into Rowley. A 20lb mirror
and 2, 19lb+ commons. These fish will add to the stock of larger fish in the lake,
and should grow on nicely. This latest stocking shows the club’s commitment
to making our waters better and providing our anglers with some great fish to
target. We also stocked around 20 1.5 to 2lb tench at the same time to further
boost the overall stock in the lake.
