The matches in the book are "Society Matches " which are known well in advance which enables them to be printed in the book.
The matches that Graham kindly puts on here are "club" matches and there are hundreds of them throughout the year.
They can also be booked at short notice so its an ever changing situation.
Im afraid the only way to check if there is a match on is by looking on here or phoning the club through the week
All the best

PS. Did you catch wherever you moved to ?

You have to wonder if, for its size of membership, there is any single organisation in Leeds or Yorkshire that would benefit more from introducing regular - say monthly - email bulletins to its members.
Or indeed whether, for its size of membership, there is any other comparable organisation which doesn't already have them?
I do appreciate that many older, retired members will not be users of email but even of that demography there will by now be a majority who are.

Don't shoot the messenger Glen ............ and a pleasure fishing messenger at that I know mate, its not your fault bud. It is just very frustrating, we have this problem each season. We have just been here so many times, round and round we go, with the promise that things will get sorted out - still exactly the same - turn up and takes your chance. Leeds need a system that shows all of the match fixtures on all of their waters - there must be a list somewhere which gets updated when matches are booked? Why cant this be published on the forum and updated as and when needed? I thought there was talk at one point of you taking this over for us and publishing match fixtures? Or did I just dream that?

Try not being able to fish at all for all this rubbish, I spent several hours last week to supply you PLEASURE anglers with a list of match's for the next 6 weeks not just one week as I have done in the past in an effort to make things easier for you to plan and it's everyone else's fault but yours, AMAZING.
The main problem there is only me connecting himself to the website to try and help and I and my health have just about had enough.
Regards Graham

The match list supplied was really useful and your work is surely appreciated by all of us with our thanks. At some future point, the match bookings will surely be recorded on a page on a computer as soon as they are booked, and at some future point the club will surely have an email list of all its members, to whom bulletins can be sent at a click - which needn't consist of much more than slight edits and copies/pastes of documents that are already typed up on a computer (meeting minutes, match calendar, match results, a few notices to members, reminders of certain rules, some bits and pieces from EA/ Angling Trust, etc) and would be available to whoever compiles the bulletins? Most big clubs will surely have someone amongst their membership who would relish such a role, and perhaps even start to make more of it (venue and catch reports, reports from members' trips to exotic destinations, advice and tips, etc). I'm not of course suggesting the role would necessarily be done by an existing club officer. (And nor am I suggesting that it would necessarily represent the first step in a bit more of a user-friendly, member-consulting amalgamation - though that of course would be nice ).

i drove to nun monkton last wednesday to fish....last thing i expected was a match to be on (over 100 mile round trip) luckily the match lads used about the first 20-oddd pegs, so i did manage to fish further up (blanked) PS- I appreciate your efforts graham, thank you.

First of all to Shane I didn't do the list until Wed night, my first night back from holiday, so I couldn't have helped you.
To Nige I say if only, ask Rushy when you next speak about the society minute book, it sounds good from your side but getting these things done is a completely different think, i.e again ask Rushy what was said to be the most important thing on last week's delegates agenda, names on a list, at a meeting where I had to give out the funeral arrangements for one of our colleagues and oldest personal friend.
On a positive note I expect many changes to be made to the website this year and one will definitely be to give something in the lines of match bookings to what I have seen on the York site providing it can be updated at short notice.
Regards Graham

Nice one Graham, that York page does look good (as do most of their pages) www.ydaa.org.uk/matches/match_calendar.html Seriously though, someone should mention the monthly bulletins idea to the delegates meeting. It really could just start out as a cut-and-paste job from things that get posted on here anyway. If the committee have a "ain't-broke-won't-fix-it" attitude then tell them, for example, how it could have been used to explain the Moor Monkton deal (after the event, of course - I think we realise that you can't really do property deals in public). For example the bulletin could have given some simple figures on the investment - like how much Moor Monkton match and permit income is already in, how many extra yearbooks it's already sold, how it balances the portfolio of venues and how it will enable the club to be stronger in future ... for example, you would just need to join up and pad out these 2 bits from minutes already put on here by Eddie MOOR MONKTON
The venue is finally a Leeds property, the transaction completing earlier this month. Stan Jefferies ( president of Leeds), said a special thankyou to Graham Park ( general secretary), for all his hard work in procuring the pools on our behalf. I know it wasn't straight forward, so well done Graham! The venue has been fishing very well with a winning weight of 232lb recorded last weekend. Work has taken place to improve the onsite building and new Leeds dasa signs will be going up soon.
MEMBERSHIP
Book sales, attached 483, unattached 945, total 1428. That's up by 168 on last year at the same time. Moor Monkton permits sold so far 144 A bulletin could also of course have been used in some way to explain the Topcliffe decision and what that money can do. It wouldn't necessarily stop criticism of any decision but it would show more open-ness and direct communication and certainly lead to a more 'aware' club all round.
