Important News

No members are permitted to fish the south bank of the Royal Military Canal. This is very important whilst discussions continue with the Env. Agency.  The south bank (the bank furthest from the road) is not an RFA water at this time.

.

We have had confirmation that in the eyes of the law a junior member is anyone under the age of 18 and therefore the following needs to be adhered to. 

​

JUNIOR RULES UPDATE:-

- So for now the rules are staying as they were, under 16's can fish with a guardian at night at Wishing Tree Reservoir. The only slight change is 13-16's can fish all our waters unaccompanied in the day IF we have parents consent. We need PARENTS to write permission in and sign front page of book for bailiffs to see.

- 16 - 18's can night fish unaccompanied at Wishing Tree but again this will need to be with PARENTS consent in front of books with signature for bailiffs to see.

- Park rules remain the same, no juniors night fishing, but we will need permission from PARENTS in books with signature for the unaccompanied 13 - 16's in the day time.

- Then going forward - NEXT SEASON - it will be as follows - under 13's must be on parents membership and can only fish with parent. 13 - 16's will have parents needing to provide a signature on membership form when they get their membership books for permission to day fish unaccompanied. And then it will be over 18's only for night fishing.


RFA news 
If any member sees or witnesses any illegal activity on club or RFA waters do not try to interfere but use one of the following websites with as much detail you have. Police https://www.sussex.police.uk/ro/report/ or southeast region enforcement agency on www.anglingtrust.net. These should get a response for you. The enforcement team will be patrolling local waters in the near future so all members make sure you have the right paper work with you, there are no excuses.
