AGM New Rules
New rules past

The use of two rods
The new rule will now read: Use more than two rods
and there shall be not more than two rods in use in any one swim.
Except at London Colney where three rods be allowed
between 1st October and 14th March inclusive.
Members were reminded that two EA rod licences
would be required by any individual fishing with three rods. Also
that any angler fishing with three rods must act in a gentlemanly
manner in relation to his fellow anglers and show due consideration
to those anglers, when setting their baits.

fishery, you can order your key on the renewal form which will be
sent out at the end of April cost of a key is £5.00. This
would be a key for life and should the member wish to return the
key the £5.00 would be returned.
Shepherds Way
First of the close season matches
With plenty of recent rain and an overcast and
windy day 19 Barnet members assembled at 9am for the first of a
series of close season matches. It soon became apparent that it
was going to be a hard day with few fish showing. Few fish were
fooled into accepting the anglers offerings but in the end the weights
were very close.
1st Alan Laney 8lb 9oz (carp 6lb 4oz and 2lb 5oz
of Roach)
2nd D. Porch 8lb 8oz
3rd M. Martineac 6lb 8oz 8dm
4th 6lb 8oz

Next match May 11th then May 25th booking is with

New Fishery Officers
Shepherds Way has a new fishery officers, John
Barcock his phone number is in the back of your fixture list book,
if you see any problems on this fishery please get in touch with
him.
D. Currell is the new fishery officer at London
Colney his number is also in the fixture book.
New Entry into the Spinney
As from now those members who wish to fish The
Spinney, should follow the following route.
Use the Hambarn approach, via Grange Road and proceed
as if you are going to Hambarn. Instead of branching RIGHT to the
Hambarn car park, continue on until the track turns LEFT. Follow
the track left; up past the 'solitary tree' ( I believe it is the
crossroads on the LAA's route to their fishery section) to a sharp
right bend followed by a sharp left. Glance to your right and look
for The Pump House a corrugated tin roof construction at the end
of a row of telegraph poles. A 'pathway' leads from the track you
are on to the parking area by the pump house. The Landowner has
recently levelled these tracks and the one leading to Hambarn car
park with firmed down 'hoggin' and therefore made your journey less
bumpy and bone jarring.

The new aerator you see in the photo has been put
into Shepherds Way to keep the oxygen level up. This has been done
to stop the problems we had back in June where all the fish were
seen on the surface due to the lack of oxygen in the water. Please
do not use this as a target as a lead in the middle of the unit
will cause a lot of damage.

New Members

the coming season, an application form can be downloaded from the

Parking in Lowbell Lane
The Club has received complaints from the residents
of lowbell lane of members parking in the lane, this is not allowed.
During the week we share the Church car park and at weekends we
make use of the Lafarge (Redlands car park) see your Guide to Fisheries
Mapbook.
Blunham (Hambarn)
We have had a report from the farmer on this fishery
of members walking across the field from the car park. On no account
should members attempt to walk straight across the field, members
should walk along the hedge to the left of the car park until you
reach the river, then follow along the river bank to your chosen
swim.
