General Rules

1. Only official members are permitted to fish the Club waters. Members must be in possession of a valid membership card when fishing and must produce the same for inspection when requested to do so by any member of the Club, a bailiff or any official of the Club.

2. The Club does not issue day tickets, but guest permits may be purchased in advance by a member of the Club for guests, family and friends. The guest must be accompanied at all times by the member and the guest permit must be duly completed to show Guests Name, Members Name and Date. Permits are valid for one day only.
The system for the purchase of guest permits will be published by the Management Committee on the Club Website, in the Club Information Package and on newsletters from time to time. Information on the guest permit system can be obtained from the Club Administrator.

3. The normal close season operates between the 15th March and 15th June on the River Don. There is no close season for any of the Club ponds/lakes.

4. Only barbless hooks may be used and members fishing may be required to present their hooks for inspection. Failure to do so and the use of barbed hooks will result in revocation of membership.

5. Keep nets may be used in official matches only. Any particularly large carp should be weighed and returned to the water, only if this is possible during the match without causing disruption. It would be preferred if Carp friendly keep nets could be used in the interest of fish welfare.

6. Please park in the allocated places and with due thought to other members.

7. No litter must be left - please take away discarded lines and hooks.

8. No audio or radio equipment is allowed unless used with adequate earphones so they can not be heard at adjacent pegs.

9. Junior members are welcome but should at all times be under the care and supervision of a responsible adult.

10. The Club and its officials accept no responsibility for any injury, damage or loss occurring to any member, or his/her equipment or vehicles whilst attending at any of the Club venues.

11. Members must at all times respect the interests of fellow anglers and the reserving of swims (except for official matches) is prohibited.

12. No damage must be caused to any vegetation, wildlife or banks - any person found committing damage will be prosecuted and will have their membership revoked.

13. There are no bait bans, but members are asked to use ground bait in sensible quantities.

14. All members must be in possession of a current National Fishing Licence, have the licence available for inspection and produce the same when requested.

15. Members should report any sightings of fish deaths, pollution or damage to a bailiff, committee member or via the website.
