Many thanks to Ron Karasavvas and Richard Drury who were both on hand to lead a teach-in for students from Cranborne Primary school at Shepherds Way on Friday 12th and 19th September. Under the expert tutelage of Ron Karasavvas and Richard Drury along with special thanks to all of our other anglers who were on hand to assist with children. All of the children had a great time and I am pleased to say that they caught plenty of fish. Who knows, a future BADAC fishing champion maybe amongst the happy attendees?

Dear Members,
Below is a picture of a rig recovered from one of the floating islands at Shepherds Way. This rig is not acceptable at this fishery as it is a fixed rig and was being fished with strong braid.
Please can all members familiarise themselves with the rules for this fishery? Anyone found to be breaking the rules may have their membership revoked.
