New Facilty for Woodfields - 26 Oct 2024
A "BIG THANK YOU" to Ian Hart, Steve Cory, Alan Carpenter and Pat Dunkley who gave up their Saturday to constuct our new gazebo. A place for members to shelter from the rain or sun or just chill-out. Another great addtion to the lake's facilites.
The team had spent a previous Saturday laying the slabs (donated by Ian Hart) for the base. So the number of volunteer hours contributed is immense and much appreciated.
The gazebo was kindly donated by Barry and Mark Smith.



The club really has some great and generous benefactors, whether it is monetary or time given up - or both - they have made it possible to make the BDAA the fishing club to join and Woodfields the "go to" fishery. The proof is in the numbers, as membership income this year is currently up 20% on last year so we as a club must be doing something right.

With the stocking earlier in the year the club has been able to invest over £6,700 in new fish for the venue during 2024.

Summer Cup Series Result
Jack Robinson (left) pictured below being presented the trophy by series organiser Pat Dunkley. Going into the final match Jack Robinson needed to be placed 8th or higher and his lead and trophy winning position would be unassailable. So that is exactly what he did by coming fourth to take the series victory by 10 clear points from his nearest rival Barry Smith.

The series, which was added late to the match schedule, has been very popular with members with 19 members taking part in the final match.
So a special "Thank you" must go to Pat Dunkley who firstly proposed the series should take place and secondly for organising the matches. Also a thank you must go to Dick Hutchin who assisted with the weigh-ins.
