A net dip has been installed at Moor Farm fishery. ALL anglers are required to dip their nets BEFORE starting to fish, the dip has been installed at the entrance to the fishery by the car park, you have to walk past the dip to get to the lakes, so there is no excuse not to dip your nets prior to fishing.

When parking your car at Goose Green please be considerate towards other members and park in a way as to not block the paths to the lakes as was witnessed on the 9th April, we have a number of disabled members, some of whom are in wheel chairs and they require unrestricted access to the paths, the way this particular car was parked on Thursday would have made it difficult for an abled bodied member to pass, let alone a member in a wheel chair, is walking an extra 10 yards really that much of a hardship?
