Corrections to Club Diary 2010

The Club Diary, which every member should have received with their January edition of The Osprey, has errors which need to be corrected.

It suggests that Ogston is opening on 10th March 2010. This is not correct. It will open on March 18th 2010 as stated in your Club Handbook.

It also states that Mike Ashworth is the vice chairman and booking officer for Scotland as well as being chairman and booking officer for Scotland -this should, of course, read Chairman. The booking officer for Scotland is Alan Patrick.

The Management Committee apologises to its members if these errors have caused any confusion. Updated versions of the Club Diary will be sent with membership cards.

Working Parties

Ogston Reservoir

A number of working parties have once again been arranged in conjunction with Ogston Sailing Club, Ogston Bird Club and Severn Trent.

Even though invitations will be sent to some members any extra help would be much appreciated. If you can spare 2/3 hours on the dates given below please report to the Sailing Club premises from 9:30am onwards for a 10:00am start.

The tasks will involve clearing invasive vegetation and hopefully burning it. You will therefore require sturdy gloves and footwear and tools such as rakes, loppers, bow saws and garden forks. No power tools may be used for safety reasons. If you have any combustible materials please bring them along to help light the fires.

Working parties are to be held at Ogston in 2010:

Sunday 24th January

Sunday 21st February

Sunday 21st March

Tiln Lake

Sunday 21st March

Members of Derbyshire County Angling Club should be aware that arrangements for visiting this fishery have changed from 16 th June 2008.
The Club has agreed to allow the use of the fishing rights to Mr. Tony Lomas, the Landowner and farmer at Holme Nook Farm, who will be selling day tickets to the general angling public.
In return Mr. Lomas has agreed to give 6 Club members free access to the water on any one day and will ensure that 6 fishing places are available. In the short term he will extend that permission to any member's guests or accompanying children or grandchildren.
Members should follow the rules in the current Club Handbook.
Members must also use the booking in form at the checking station and hang their disc on a vacant hook, once a checking station is in place.
Please cooperate fully with Mr. Lomas, if you have any questions or concerns please write to the General Secretary .
