News Archives - 2010

Our first fishing match of 2010 took place on Saturday 6th March and in spite of the water still being very cold the winning bag, pictured, exceeded 20lb with others not a mile behind.

On Friday 12th Feb we had to rescue a very rare bird visiting the site.  We were already aware of 2 bitterns, of which there are as few as 75 in the country, visiting the site to feed on our fishing lakes. We think they were drawn to the area by the wetland project and found the lakes with its small reed-beds irresistable; we had plenty for them to eat in our well stocked lakes.

On Friday I discovered the bird caught on fishing line whilst feeding the lakes.  The Bittern was attempting to fly but was unable to.  I called Roger Wardle, the wildlife expert who helped us develop the wetland project.

Over the closed season the club house is being revamped with new walls all around the inside creating a much cosier atmosphere. We think you’ll love it.
