As most of our members will be aware, Gribbles Covert pond is suffering during the warmer months with low water levels due to a leak, which has been identified around the outlet waterfall and the two fishing platforms on the far bank closest to the waterfall.

At the moment we do have Gribbles Covert Pond scheduled to Close in March so that Brian can rectify the problem, plus do some additional work required.

If in late February / early March we suffer heavy rainfall, which would hamper our attempts to sort out the leak, we may postpone the work until late April/early May as Brian will need to lower the water level of the pond in order to get to the leak itself, which would require a heavy duty water pump should the pond be at high level and which is very expensive to hire.

So in short, we may need to alter the pond closure dates at short notice, which will obviously be put on the web site, forum, facebook and twitter, plus we will put notices up on the lake notice boards.
