Shepherds Way De-Silting

Dear Member, Just a note to remind everyone that Shepherds Way will be closed from Monday 21st October until Sunday 27th October for the de-silting of Neates Lake. The smaller lake will be open on Monday 28th October but Neates Lake (large) will remind closed to recover, reopening on Monday 4th November. May I thank everyone for their understanding. The club does not wish to close any fishery but the removal of silt has been long overdue and we believe Shepherds Way will benefit from this work in the future. Once the de-silting work is complete, I will contact you with updates on how we intend to further improve the health of the lakes. I would also like to personally thank the members that gave up part of their Sunday’s recently to come down and help us prepare the site. Your help is most appreciated. Well done. Kind regards Paul Hutton Secretary BADAC
