Club Annual License Renewal.
Would all members please ensure that if they intend fishing after March 31st on Club waters, that they are in possession of a new 2014/15 License. It is the responsibility of all members to ensure they have an up to date license. Club bailiffs will be patrolling all our waters from the beginning of April and anyone found fishing on an out of date license will be asked to leave the water.

River Wye - Monmouth Stretch.
All members who have a Club Game License are reminded that the Clubs stretch of the Wye at Monmouth does permit club license holders to fish for Salmon and Trout within the relevant season dates.


Treoes Pond - Disabled access pegs
All Disabled and Wheelchair access pegs at Treoes Pond have been re designated with disabled access signs. Peg 1 is a standard peg and not disabled priority. All Disabled access pegs however are prioritised for our Disabled/Wheelchair Anglers, who have priority to these pegs.

Treoes Pond will be Closed 1st March 2014 to 31st March 2014. This time allows the Club to complete all required major maintenance works and obviously gives the pond a well earned rest.

Keep Nets
Please be aware that Keep Nets are not permitted between March 14th 2014 and June 16th 2014 in line with NRW Closed Season. The only exception to this is for official Club organised Matches between these dates.

Rob Parry who runs the Parc Slip nature reserve near Tondu, Bridgend, advised his ponds had been wiped out by Crassula helmsii, commonly known as New Zealand Pigmyweed or Australian Swamp Stonecrop.
Apparently it’s so successful an invasive species that it literally fills the water to the exclusion of all other life, fish, invertebrates, amphibians – the whole lot.
Tiny parts of the plant can reproduce at a phenomenal rate.
Just to underline how much of threat it is, Rob is planning to drain and fill the ponds in and start again on a different site, a huge loss for the nature reserve.
Members are asked to ensure that all nets are dried after each fishing trip to reduce the risk of any unwanted plant life getting into our waters.
