We have spoken to William Muir, who’s doing the track around Colver. He won’t be starting till the back end of next week, held up on another job. We’ll let you know properly when we know! He’s going up in the next day or two to clear the area behind the small Sanctuary car park ready for the spoil. There will be a sign put up to stop parking until the work is complete! Please respect it.
They will be doing the far bank first, so people can fish the near bank, then visa versa, so anyone fishing will need to move.
He’ll be putting machinery and materials in a compound over the next few days.

This week’s cost cutter match was held on Smiggies lake. Due to the adverse weather conditions, we pegged all around the top bend to get as much out of the wind as possible. This did adversely affect the weights. Mick Farmery again came out on top with 28lb 10oz followed by Den Porter with 26lb 3oz and Mick Nash with 12lb 3oz. The 2 end pegs finished first and second. 7 fished. Next week’s match is on Colver.
An update for members on the path around Colver. Because of the committments of the Contractor it has been decided to start the work on the 29th June. He couldn’t start for a couple of weeks and we didn’t want to risk clashing with other events already planned for Colver. The contactor has told us that he is now committed to that date.
