Chairman's Updates 29/04/2026

We are fast approaching the start of our 2026/27 Match Season which starts at Willinghurst on  the Old Lake on the 10th May.   Membership Renewals are now open and fees have been frozen for this season.  Go to the Membership Details page on the Website to submit your application online.

I have been carrying out a number of updates on the Website and streamlined a few pages to hopefully make navigation easier.  You will see that the Fixture List is now located in the the Club Match Schedule Page along with the Calendar and Everything You Need To Know sheet 

 

I have revamped the Littlestoke information on the More Littlestoke Info  page.  I will be adding more information where necessary to enhance what is there.

 

You will notice a difference in the Match reporting this season in the way the results are presented.  Hopefully it will be easier to navigate.

 

Have a look at the changes and let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements.  I will also be endeavouring to make more use of the What's App Group page after feedback from the membership at Club meetings.

 

As you know we have now agreed the necessary changes to the Constitution, Match Rules and the new                     Work Party Risk Assessment as a result of the AGM.  These can be found in the Members Area for reference. 

SECRETARY'S POST AGM UPDATE

The AGM was held on 23 April. It received reports for the Officers on what had been  stable year for the club, with membership maintained and stable finances, but with one  or two exceptions, an unmemorable year on the angling front. All officers were returned unopposed and the necessary changes to the Constitution agreed. Finally the AGM decided that subs for the coming season would remain unchanged.

Membership renewals are now open and all 25-26 members should have received their renewal invitation. With the first match scheduled for 10 May it would be really helpful if memberships could be renewed ahead of that, although for those attending that match there will be an opportunity to join on the day. The only other cash joining opportunity is at the 21 May meeting, after which any renewals must be by transfer or a cheque posted to me. If after 16 June you have not renewed you will be deemed to have left the club.

Dave Ashton has been preparing the website for the new season. Please remember it is designed to be a ‘go to’ resource for everything you need to know, from fixtures to results, meeting and work party dates, water testing data, club rules, match rules and a venue guide just for starters. The club (and Dave in particular) has invested considerable time and effort to provide this and if you haven’t yet signed up for the members only section please do so.
