*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***
Further to the Prime Minister’s announcement last night and having had approval from the two landowners, the committee can announce that the three pools at Otherton Farm and Tooby’s Pool at Bransford will re-open on Wednesday 13 May in accordance to the latest Government’s guidelines.
However, it is IMPERATIVE that members adhere to the strict social distancing criteria that is in existence. Furthermore, the landowners have stipulated that gloves need to be worn when opening, closing, locking and unlocking gates and locks to the water. Should members fail to adhere to this, there’s a significant chance that the pools will be closed again for safety purposes.
The committee understand that the pools all have at least a 2m distance between pegs. It is advised that members fish alternate pegs, creating an empty peg between anglers for safety. Please also give space when walking past members already on a peg to access another. On Otherton Pool, members are advised to walk tight alongside the fencing when on the ‘flat’ side, as this will still enable a 2m gap to anglers fishing.
We anticipate the pools are likely to be busy considering the period of lockdown the country has faced. Therefore, please be extremely respectful and sensible to other members present and be aware that the pools may be full.
Finally, the 2020 Contest Circular agreed at this year’s AGM is postponed indefinitely as organised gatherings are still strictly forbidden under the Government guidance. Any updates on revised dates will be circulated at the appropriate time.
Please, please, please adhere to these strict guidelines for the safety of yourselves, landowners and other members.
Stay safe and thank you for your understanding.
