The Annual Open day took place on Saturday 13 May and was well attended by both Club members and new anglers looking to fish at Shepherds Way and join BADAC for the coming season.
A big thank you for their efforts yesterday to Mark and Stacey Saunders, Christine and Dave Ruddle and the Committee members who were on hand to give help and assistance – Richard Drury, Paul Hutton, Roger Manser and Ray Mouratsing.

We have recently completed the new piling by the bottom end of Neate’s Lake to stop the continuing leakage into the small lake. In addition, we are in the process of installing new platforms on the small lake, some pictures of the first platform.
Thanks to Ron Karasavvas and Nigel Pitt for sorting out the new platform on the small lake.
All of the bank adjoining the small lake is now complete & as you can see, the bridge has been replaced & widened.
Obviously all is needed is to place the swim plates back into position but we just need the bank to settle for a few days so the ground levels out.

Dear Member,
After careful consideration the club has decided to open Shepherds Way on the 26th September 2022 at 0800hrs.
Whilst the lake’s water volume is still low, the water temperature has reduced significantly, which allows for increased levels of dissolved oxygen. However, we ask you to observe the following;
Limit the amount of bait you put into the lakes.
Take great care when handling fish and always use a suitable mat.
We will be monitoring the lakes carefully and regular checks will be carried out on how members are fishing. Whilst we believe the current conditions allow the venue to open, if circumstances change, we may have to close them again. Your continued assistance will reduce this possibility.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Paul Hutton
Secretary.
