WDAA News
All the news from around the Association
Website 18/11 22
The website is currently undergoing a bit of an overhaul, you may not notice things changing as a lot of what's happening is background stuff.
one of the main changes is the requirement to register and supply a picture of yourself when buy a permit or want to be a site member, this is so permits can have a picture and address details put on them before they are sent out, it will also help our bailiffs to identify who they are speaking to with on the bank.
All of our member accounts are set to private, so only WDAA admins will be able to see your details.

National Pool
20/08/22
Unfortunately National pool has had an algae bloom, which has caused an oxygen crash, this has resulted in the deaths of many of the fish in the pool, Aerators were deployed to the pool but it was too late to save most of the fish.
We would advise not to allow Dogs to swim in the pool.
All Waters

There is already a bait restriction on Newpool of 1 kilo maximum bait per angler per 24 hours.
Water quality is being monitored across all our waters. The use of spombs/spods/mass baiting tools is also being reviewed pending any possible restrictions.
