John Preen is arranging a top angler to come along and do a spot following the business of the meeting, which usually takes no more than an hour. Bar services will be available and members are welcome to bring family and guests to listen to the speaker. As usual John will be holding his raffle to raise money for charity – this year the Children’s Hospital. Details of speaker to be published later via website, hot line and at main Club Waters. Club Waters – Bob Simpson. Brookside Pond, Brampton. Since the Club took legal action in the spring of 2008 things have been quiet and we have not received any reports of problems. Our leasing arrangement continues, please let us know if you experience any difficulties. By all reports the pond is fishing well. Shared Waters Aston Park Fisheries – our current agreement terminates on the 31st March, 2009 and will not be renewed. Carlton Lake, Carlton Village, Nr.

Three SYPAC members (was two last year) can fish at any one time. All you need to do is turn up, fish and produce your current SYPAC 2009 membership card to the bailiff on request. Should any additional authentification be required give Clive Westlake’s name. This is a day ticket water and in the event of you turning up to fish and three of our members already being there, just pay the £5.00 day ticket fee and then forward the ticket with a short note to us and we will reimburse the fee – this will assist us to determine the popularity of the water with our membership. In future we may be able to negotiate more places should there be demand.

The logo can be seen on the top right of the enclosed order form and on the Club website in the latest news box. Samples will be available for viewing at the Anglers Night with the Stars and the AGM. This season each of our bailiffs has a Club tee shirt and they will wear them from time to time. Control of Disease - David Frost - Club Secretary USE OF NETS IN MATCHES & WHILST PLEASURE FISHING With a view to protecting the clubs stock of carp in Mirlwyn Lake WW1, Colwyn Lake WW2 and Woodsetts from the risk of contracting KHV, we have sought advice on the best way to eliminate the chances of our fisheries from contracting it. Carp diseases are most prevalent during the spring time and should we introduce the disease during that time we could suffer fish losses. There are many ways in which the disease can be brought into a fishery some of which are out of our control but the use of keepnets during matches is one potential source. The policy will be that before the commencement of all matches keeps nets and landing nets must be spread along the bankside and allowed exposure to daylight for one hour before they are placed into the water for use. Ultra violet light kills off the KHV and other carp viruses and is the only practical way the club can attempt to keep the disease at bay. I ask that this is self regulated amongst match anglers, advice notices will be sent out with all match bookings. Potentially the risk also applies to the stock at Woodsetts and whilst keep nets are not used on that water as matches are not permitted we ask that members apply the same criteria to landing nets. Club Website – www.sypac.co.uk – Free Prize Draw for £50 cash – Bob Simpson Our site has a facility whereby members can register their email address to receive Club Newsletters and email circulations on matters of interest or importance. This facility improves our communication and in the long term will reduce postage costs as we make more use of it in the future. There will be a free draw for £50 – all you have to do is register with the site to receive the newsletter by 12 midnight on Wednesday 4th March 2009 and your email address will go into the free draw which will be made at the AGM on the 5th March. Do not worry if you are not of the www. generation get one of the family, a friend or neighbour to register on your behalf, we will contact the winning address by email, ask for your 2009 membership number and post the cheque to the address shown on the Club data base. Club Administrator Liz Saunderson continues as our administrator and works part time Wednesday, Thursday & Friday in the Command Suite at Moss Way Police Station, Sheffield. For serving officers and support staff her extension is 3420 and correspondence can be sent via the SYP internal mail system to Liz. However use of our PO Box No 4176 may be more efficient as this is emptied most days. ***** We look forward to you renewing your membership – Bob Simpson, Club Treasurer. www.sypac.co.uk ‘A well established, progressive Club with a good estate of Waters in and around South Yorkshire’ Club Hotline 0114 296 4449 – updated periodically.
