WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO MAN A COLLECTION AT MORRISONS ON THE 25TH OF MAY FROM 10AM TIL 4PM. WE NEED TO HAVE YOU DOING AT LEAST 1 HR EACH AND GET IN QUICK TO GET THE SLOT YOU WANT!!
You need to do some fundraising to be eligable for the holiday, and remember, the club is very expensive to run. What you see being spent is only a tiny fraction of what is really spent!
Very Important Notice
A lake near to ours has a disease in it which is killing fish (or so it rumoured!)
So as a precaution MAD have now BANNED ALL NETS FROM HORSESHOE LAKE.
The club have some landing nets for use at the lake, members ring Jo or Ken to find out where, but only these nets may be used!
We will inform you when nets may be used again.
Thank you
The net dips are being sorted out. But before you will be able to use your nets again you will need to learn how to use the dips safely!
Sponsored Walk
On the 15th of April, We had a Sponsored Walk. We were walking from The Battery Hotel to the Crook o' Lune.
A very well done to everybody who took part, including Julie & Sam Mc, Di, Pete & Jodie, Alex & grandad, Sam E & Tom.
You all did very well and we are all really proud of you, especially since it worked out at over 13 miles!!!
Well done everyone, we hope your feet dont ache too much & well done for getting sponSORED!! hahaha.

Fundraising day.
25th of May
We have a collection booked at Morrisons at Morecambe, can anybody do a couple of hours?
We are sorry but the MD match at Borwick on the 25th of May has been postponed, so you can go collecting now, hahaha.
Please email Julie Mc or Jo to offer your support, or post a message on the forum.
Next committee meeting is 21st of May, 7pm at Ken's.
Committee members should have their minutes, if not email Jo.
Have you been on our forum yet?
Its KWL!
It is a place where you can chat to other members, post messages about where you have been fishing, what you have caught and put piccies up!
The forum is moderated and checked by Jo and others. You have to register to post messages, piccies etc.
If anybody puts anything nasty on there, the member will be banned! If you arrange any fishing trips with other members, you must let a committee member know so they can check with your parents.
Somebody left some line at Horseshoe Lake at the 1st lesson.
This is against the rules, BIG TIME!!
You could get booted from the club for this.
Remember, NO TINS are to brought. Try to stick to natural baits please, maggots, casters, worms, pinkies. NO BOILIES, NO HOOKS BIGGER THAN A 16 (18 in animal hooks)
We have a new fundraising drive!
MAD are now collecting your used, empty ink cartridges from your printer.
This is a fundraiser that could go on for years. Not only will you be helping the club, but you will also be helping to save the planet.
So save your empty ink cartridges for us from now on, and ask all your friends and family to do the same.
Di has now signed us up to another cartridge recycling centre, so please let us know when you have loads of empty cartridges. It does not matter what they are, as long they are cartridges for inkjet printers and laser printers they will do.
Unfortunately Epson and Brother cartridges are no good, or any toners but everything else should be ok. HP, Dell, Lexmark, Samsung etc. We can just stick them in a Jiffy bag and use the freepost address and account number, which is fine, but please first check that you are sending only the cartridges that they accept www.cashforcartridges.co.uk and click 'price list'. They can not accept Epsom, Brother or any toners. Do not send anything that is not on the list. THIS IS IMPORTANT. The address is
"FREEPOST" The Recycling Centre, 13 Main Street, Keyworth, NOTTINGHAM, NG12 5AA. Clearly marking on the envelope 359
If you don't want to do that, that's fine, just hand them in to any committee member.
Our account will be credited and they pay by cheque when balance reaches £10.
We can now take Epson cartridges and toner cartridges.
We are also collecting used postage stamps.
Please keep hold of the cartridges and let Di know you have them or take them to the next match or lesson.
This is a piccy of James' personal best carp of 20lb and Alex also caught his personal best pike.
Well done to both.
If you would like your personal bests on here let us know, it does not have be at a club meet to count, but a club record will have to be caught at a club meet.
We still have places available on the committee for adult members.
Please say a big hello to our new junior committee member, James. We now have a vacant place on the committee for a junior member.
