Welcome to our Member's Weekend.

This will be the first weekend event for a while and we sincerely hope we can count on your support. The venue has been chosen as it offers accommodation and meeting rooms on one site and is very easy to reach from the motorway.

Thanks to our fantastic ‘member speakers’ we offer a full two day event of talks, auctions and social time. This year we want to try something a little different and ask each of you to come prepared to share a ten minute talk/debate on a fishy topic of your choosing, if you want any further details email me or phone 07940 590474 evenings please

I’m really looking forward to seeing you all again and look forward to your receiving your booking soon.

Best wishes  

Chris
