28th May - POACHERS!

A group of adult males (4, with southern Irish accents - appear to be our 'regulars') have been found fishing the Damery beat with worms. They were approached and asked to move on which they did - it is believed that they hadn't caught anything.

They had been parked at Damery Bridge but unfortunately their registration number wasn't noted.

Please - if vehicles associated with poachers are spotted, take their registration number and let the Chairman know - he wil contact the local PCSO who who will pass these details onto his beat colleagues to follow up.

For more information on dealing with poachers please see here.

24th May - New Members

Billy Dickson (Membership Secretary) has invited several people who have been on the waiting list since 2008 to become members this year but has yet to receive a response from Tom Watson. Perhaps Tom could contact Billy ASAP as if he does not respond by the end of May then the place will be offered to the next on the waiting list.

6th May - Himalayan Balsam

Now is the time when this plant is starting to grow. Perhaps all members could spend 5 minutes of their session in pulling up this invasive non native plant. If we all help then over a few years we can significantly reduce the presence of this weed and improve the ability of the banks to retain soil and not for it to be washed away in the next spate
