Dear members,

I hope you are all well,

With the announcement now confirmed by the first minister allowing angling to resume from Friday 29th May as long as we can do so whilst observing social distancing. This is great news for our membership meaning that we can now fish!

The first phase of our reopening of the club will now take place from tomorrow morning (29th May).

We ask that all members and users of club facilities should do so by following government guidelines when in and around the club facilities. As previously communicated we must adhere to all new measures and processes that have been put in place. Anti-bacterial hand wash, alcohol sanitiser and disposable gloves have been supplied by the club and will be situated on the sanitising station in the rod room and rod room toilets.

Please ensure that such PPE and consumables remain on the premises for all members to use.
All used disposable gloves and tissues must be disposed of safely and thoughtfully in a bin and not left lying around the club facilities.
The use of face masks are not mandatory but they are government recommendation. The committee have left it to the individuals to decide on whether you wear a mask or not.

We want all members to enjoy being able to get out angling again and use the club facilities but we must point out that we intend on following government guidelines with social distancing and sanitisation etc. Therefore we will be monitoring the situation very closely to ensure that all members adhere to this and the new measures that we have put in place for the safety and wellbeing of all members are adhered to. We will approach this with the understanding that everyone is adapting to the “new normal” but we urge you all to get familiar with the process and measures in place quickly and safely. We don’t want to have to enforce tighter measures or restrictions on repeat offenders but will enforce if we feel that your actions are risking the safety of other members using the facilities or bringing the clubs reputation into disrepute.

The committee want all members to go out and enjoy themselves but please be safe and think about and look after one another.

Best regards,

The committee.
