    somerley estate

    Graham,it's a disgrace the way the committee old and new have let this situation happen without being open and honest they have their own agenda why,and if there is infighting in the committee the members who pay to keep the club going don't stand a chance.I've been a member of CAC for the best...

    somerley estate

    Dave,mockbeggar was a joke why did the club pay between 13,000 and 15,000 pounds for six months fishing and members couldn't even look at the water before getting one of the limited tickets for it.I did hear the other party involved for mockbeggar offered 7,000 for the lease so who were the fools.
