PATTENDEN LANE

We soon will not have access to the lake via the current gate. As the new owners of the old air ambulance building need to make a secure compound.

There will be a new car park just behind the old air ambulance building and then access the lake via a new path with a new gate, which come in just behind the 1st swim.

This new access will also mean it will be easier for members with mobility issues getting in and out without have to deal with the steps. As the new access is a gentle slope all the way with no steps.

There will be no parking in the old car park. If the new car park is full you are able to park on the double yellow lines, just be mindful of others getting lorry’s in and out of gates.

Big Barbel from Wateringbury!

Check out the photo of an 11lb14oz Barbel that member Gordon Lindsey caught from our stretch of the River Medway at Wateringbury recently.

Excessive bait warning

Can members please refrain from piling in loads of excessive bait into our waters during the hot periods as this affects the water quality and puts our fish stocks health at risk.

This is particularly important at the more busy venues like Springwood as all you are doing is putting your bait on top of someone elses pile of uneaten bait.

Sawlodge Farm CLOSED on these Shoot Dates
