Work party sticker holders will be able to Fish Marton Hole, Newpool and Newbridge pool from May 1st to May 31st and Top Flash from May 2nd.
For those that want Work party sticker We normally require 8 hours attendance of a work party, but this will now be reduced to 4 hours to allow fishing in May, we intend arrange 4-hour work parties in April when the restriction rules are relaxed a bit more.
Anyone that has already done a 4-hour work party will get a sticker for May, and anyone that has already done the full 8 hours will get a work party sticker and £20 price reduction on next seasons Permit. For those that have already purchased a work party sticker at £40 they will be able to claim a £20 reduction on the new 2021 permit.

No news is good news so they say!
it's been awhile since this page was updated, due being busy with other things.
Despite the lockdown earlier in the year, it's been an interesting year so far, with early problems getting permits printed, and ongoing permit availability, we have managed to keep up with demand for this years permits.
We are entering what should be work party season, but the current covid rule of 6 and further restrictions on the horizon, it could be awhile before we are able to do any meaningful work parties, but keep an eye on our Facebook page as any workparites will be announced on there.
