Welcome to you all, the preparations for the new season begin! Although the old seems to have just finished, there is work to be done on our waters, and preparations to be made for the new season. Please find along with this paper your membership form for this season. The form is again printed for ease of use, all you need to do is to delete anything that is incorrect, add any changes in the space alongside, tick the amounts and write the cheque, not forgetting your photo, your SAE, and you working party dates please. There are two early dates where we would like some people to attend, so feel free to come along even if you have not paid your money yet, they all count. As always if you have any tools or materials you think may be of use, call the fishery manager, and bring them along. They start at eight sharp, see you there. There is no magazine this time round because of the lack of material from all sources, if you want the magazine to continue then you must apply yourselves to writing, creating, drawing or looking for interesting things for me to publish, please don't be shy again.
Bob James
Passion for angling came to the Harrow Angling Society and I was well pleased to see a good crowd there to witness what was a funny, entertaining, and thought provoking talk and slide show. It was not your usual there's a thirty from a secret stillwater in Trumpton, but a piece of entertainment that I wish I could get more of. If anyone has any ideas of another talks etc. please let me know.
How Many Rods?
Amid much speculation about the ability to use four rods with two permits, the current HAS rules allow the use of two rods with the appropriate licences, unless you are advised by the society to the contrary, the existing rule applies.
Scouts
We have been asked to help a group of young scouts go fishing, we are currently investigating if this is possible, anybody who wishes to sponsor the event or help out, please contact Derek Hart on 0181 863 3619, or see him at the AGM.
Litter
Your continued vigilance is required against this menace, it must be stressed that litter includes cigarette butts, matches, tea bags and various cooking debris.
