Important Notices
Bob Fox took two of his grandchildren to Taylors for a few hours fishing. The pair fished pegs 26 & 27, using 3 sections of pole and fishing 4 feet deep and both caught from the start with roach, rudd or perch on every cast. The fishing was so prolific they enjoyed an impromptu competition with the final score being 57 fish to 53. No doubt they will be back soon. On the same day, a member fishing peg 6 had two carp of 25lbs and 17lbs.
Taylors 12th/13th September
The top lake at Taylors will be closed on 12th/13th September for weed removal. Car park lake will remain open.

A big thank you on behalf of members for the amazing work done by the lads at Taylors, Nazeing, Coopers, Hunters and the Rib this year. Also a big thanks to those who have helped out on the Lea at the football club and St Mary's Lane. Its been a difficult summer for a number of reasons but I can't thank you enough for your time and effort in keeping our waters in the best possible condition. Good luck with the fishing and thanks again. Bob.
