PRESIDENT’S/DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2008
Welcome to you
all, yet another season has passed by. I hope you find this evening
enjoyable and that you take the opportunity to meet with fellow
colleagues.
My report gives an
overview of the past season and our plans for the future.
During the last
year a fellow Angler, Tony Phillips, sadly passed away. Tony fished
for us in quite a few Nationals and was for many years a Committee Member.
Always ready for a joke he will be missed by us all.
Despite the weather not
being so good last summer we have enjoyed an increase in membership which
is really positive.
Our Plans For The
Coming Season
We have not
increased any membership charges this season believing that the increase
in the 2009/2010 Season as clearly we need to
keep in step with increasing costs but we will continue to be as efficient
and cost conscious as possible.

Website
The 2006/07 Season
saw us in our fourth year of offering an application form on the website
for our Season Permits.
This method of
obtaining our Season Permits has steadily increased over the years.
We are therefore exploring other ways of making it easier to pay for the
permits online.
In Conclusion
Your
Club is making
steady progress and remains in the forefront in Angling Clubs in
Cambridgeshire. We were successful in tenders for Reach Lake - a
lovely little venue adding to our portfolio of mixed fisheries.
The Environment
Agency has recognised that we are one of the few Clubs in the region
accredited with Club Mark and have been helpful in sponsorship.
We shall seek new
opportunities to acquire fisheries and to secure sponsorship for our
activities in 2008/2009. We believe we offer incredible value for
money and will do all we can to promote ourselves over the next season.
I wish to take
this opportunity to thank everyone for their help and support.
Please do take this opportunity to speak with officers of your Club.
