It is time to renew your membership for 2016.  The 2015 AGM deemed that subscriptions would increase to £60 (Full), £30 (OAP/Disabled), £26 (Student) and £20 (Junior), which I hope you will agree, represents very good value for money.

Membership runs from 1 January to 31 December, so please print the attached letter and complete the appropriate boxes, then post the whole letter to me with your cheque/Postal Order made payable to LEIGHTON ANGLING SOCIETY as soon as possible.  An SAE just for return of your Membership Card would be much appreciated as it helps to keep the Society’s postage costs down and saves me a lot of extra work.    I have to pay the first half of the water rents early in the New Year, so it would be much appreciated if you could do this without delay.

I also really need to know if you do not intend renewing your membership, so I may allocate it to someone on the waiting list.  So please let me know if you do not intend to renew.

Sunday 13 December 2016 was unusually mild but very wet. A grizzly, drizzly morning met the anglers that fished this third round of our Winter League series and the last before Christmas. Wigmore Lakes was the venue and although practice had been on very windy days previously, this match was fished in comparative calm. Light levels were low; so much so that we really needed floodlights towards the end of the match! Anyway, that well-practised man, Ken Arnold, wiped the floor with the rest of us once again and weighed in an impressive 4 carp net for 26 Lbs 10 Ozs taken on the waggler, to take first place. Second was Gordon Bradley with a 2 carp catch of 15 Lbs 9 Ozs taken on method feeder and third was Pat Atkins with 15 Lbs 6 Ozs of mainly skimmers taken on pole/waggler. This now means that Ken is out in front with a maximum 30 points from 3 matches; second is still Brian Tinman with 18 and third is Bob Smith with 15. There are 4 matches to go and the next one will be on Springlea pools on 24 January 2016 - Draw at 0845 Hrs - please note!
