THIS MATCH IS NOW FULLY BOOKED!!

The one-off club pairs match arranged for Sunday 03^rd June at the Club Pool is now sold out. Thank you to all the members for showing interest.

A big thank you everyone who turned up and helped at the recent maintenance day.

An enormous amount of work has been completed, collecting and burning fallen branches from around the pool, mowing and strimming grass, pruning of trees, repairs to a number of pegs (some still need attention).

Additionally due to the labours of non-members the bridge has been completely rebuilt, thanks guys.

There are still some things that need doing and the on-going grass cutting so any help you can give would be appreciated.

With the Club Pool fishing better than ever at the moment,there has never been a better time to fish it.

Here is your chance to grab yourself a pair of  Day Tickets in our new monthly draw.

All you have to do is email me at webmaster@whitehallrushwickac.co.uk and I will enter you into the draw.

Day tickets can be used at any time you wish as long as there is not a match taking place and please don’t worry we will not pass your details onto anyone else.

The draw will take place on the first of every month and the winner will be announced on this page of the web site. So go on have a dabble!

The next draw will take place on 1st  June 2012.

May’s winner was Jason Swinford of Cheltenham . Well done Jason your day tickets are on there way.

The Photo’s on this page show March’s winner CHARLIE DONE of Northwick in Worcester with just two of the fish he caught at The Club Pool whilst using the  ticket he won in a recent draw.

The picture to the left shows 9 Year old Harrison Wittering, with his  1lb 3oz Perch, caught from permanent peg 21, in early January 2012. It was Harrison’s first ever fish.

Well done young man.I think we have a new rising star here.

The picture to the right shows one of the clubs more mature anglers in the shape of Dave Warren with another clonking fish of well over the pound mark. Dave was in permanent peg 12 and used red maggot as bait.

With plenty of silver fish also being caught (including Chub,Ide,Roach and Rudd) and even the odd Carp showing the pool is really showing what a fine winter venue it is. This is shown  in the fact that the first in the latest series of  winter silver fish only matches is already a sell out.

This year we are revamping the doubles competition as in the past we have had problems with anglers being let down by their partners for various reasons. To help combat this the committee have come up with the idea of a teams of three doubles competition. The way it works is actually very simple, teams of three anglers are drawn and if all three turn up then only the best two WEIGHTS will count.

The Drawn Teams Are :-

Singles Knock Out Competition Draw 2012.

1st Round To Be Fished At Hawford Bridge Fisheries Reddings Pool On  10th June 2012.

Byes

It is with sadness that we have to report to members the passing away of Dave Yapp one of our committee members.

In his 73^rd year Dave died on Friday 23^rd December after a short illness.

Our thoughts are with Dave’s family and close friends at this sad time when words can never express how we feel.

Up until his illness Dave was very active in the running of the club and he will be greatly missed by the many friends he has made in the club.

His good nature and willingness to help endeared him to many club members who will miss him on matches and at the club pool.

We will remember Dave at the club memorial match on Sunday 8th July 2012.
