Work Party Season

That time of year is now upon us when the work to maintain our fisheries take place.

The first work party of this season will take place on Frisby Complex on 17th May 2026. We would like to remind existing Members and inform new members that Frisby Complex will be closed between the hours of 6.00am until 1.00pm on Sunday whilst the work takes place. No one will be allowed to fish at the Complex between these times unless you have helped with the work. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. Anyone found to be fishing when the work is due to start will be asked to pack up and leave.

The work is all done by Club Members so it would be really appreciated is as many as possible could turn out to help. There are free refreshments for all helpers and the more that turn out the quicker the work gets done. No one will be expected to do anything beyond their capability. Most people arrive at around 8.00 to 8.30.

It would be great to see some new faces.
