Concerns have been raised about the lack of members fishing Knotford and discussions took place as to the future of this fishery. It was agreed to solicit the membership for their opinions and review the findings which should then hopefully assist with the decision on which way to proceed with the fishery.

The sale of 1 1/2 acres of land at the Knotford fishery has been authorised and agreed.

TOPCLIFFE HYDRO

Confirmation of the solicitors response has been requested in writing and is still awaited.

EXTENDED HOURS FISHING 2015 SEASON

A proposal was put forward and accepted to allow fishing until 11pm from 16 June to End October 2015 on certain venues.
Discussions will take place in good time with the relevant landowners to agree which venues can be fished. There are certain waters which we own outright which could also be utilised.

AGM

The AGM will be held on Thursday 6th November. Please make an effort to attend - its your club - come along and have your say

[JIMMY SILVERFISH FULLA]

Well for a start the book price wants putting up £3 per member across the board

That will raise £4500 and the Leeds book will still remain an excellent value book and will only be in line with other clubs,,,, and what Leeds has over other clubs is no joining fee

Day tickets should be put up at kippax ponds £5 to members and £7 to non members,,,,

Woodlands at thirsk is a whopping £10 a day and the owner has the cheek to say he don't charge for a second rod after he pulls ya pants down for the £10 and it's an absoloute nuts hole

Oaks is £8 for god sake,,, brafferton is £7 and there's been an otter so it's only fair I say,,,,

Do kippax sell bait and small items of tackle Selling something as simple as pellets is a great way of raising a few quid £1 a pint and ya double ya money no bother,,,,

Add a few carp to knotord and sell day tickets for it for £7
And advertise the club with flyers in tackle shops
Also take a small add out in the Yorkshire post,,,


And I could get you some possible free advertising with the Pudsey sqeuekr which is a local rag everyone in Pudsey and sirrounding areas reads,,, goes out to 20000 homes,,,,
Well worth an advert if we could get a great article together and even put in a coupon for a free days fishing where people cut it out and take it for a days fishing,,,,,


Regards jimmy

[ronnie]

Lot of sense there Jimmy, £3 a book rise isn't much, seeing as you can fish somewhere on the Leeds book 365 days a year that's less than 1p a day or 3 sessions at a muddy puddle like Woodlands for an old git like me

[smithleback]

What about day tickets on rivers,do you still have to name a place for that day,maybe more viable if all day ticket lengths available on that day purchased for(rivers notoriously unpredictable at best of times)

[gcb]

Last time I bought a day ticket -pool petrol station - all the day ticket waters were available as mentioned on the ticket I bought - not sure if it has changed - can't see why!
