just walked there the other day with seeing no notification of this happening, fortunately i have just logged on and came across this.

 

[John Newman]

It has been on the P&DAA website forum page for six days.

 

[Mark P Smith]

the signs have just been made and will be up in the next few days shaun, we hope that anyone who fished it as a free water but has`nt heard about the change there will have plenty of time to make other arrangements if they were planning a pre-baiting campaign ready for the 16th.
we fully understand this will not be popular with some anglers but p&daa only stepped in to safeguard the fishing and address the landowners concerns when it was looking increasing likely that the landowners were going to stop the fishing there because of asbo, litter and parking issues.
as with all our waters it will be very heavily bailiff`d for the benefit of the permit holders and landowners.

 

[Mark P Smith]

could those people who have received their membership forms along with the maps please return the form straight away along with passport photos and fee as the permits and gate key will not be issued until payment has cleared.
if after reading the rules you do not wish to take up your membership then please also fill in the form with your name and return it so the permit may go to the next person on the waiting list. many thanks.

 

[Shaun Ayres]

Yeah good call mark, I sent mine off last week but as always with the mail i'm left wondering if it actually made it so am watching my bank account to see if the cheque has been cashed.

 

[Shaun Ayres]

Also Mark any news on the car park? Not sure if i want my car used as a scratching post by the cattle.

 

[Mark P Smith]

thanks shaun, i believe the bailiff is looking at the parking area to find the best solution for anglers and landowner alike, but what ever you do please dont park in the village.

 

[Shaun Ayres]

Well my cheque has been cashed so just awaiting the books now.
