ANNOUNCEMENT
Its never nice to have to drop waters but sometimes large rent increases mean that tough decisions have to be made.
Its never nice to have to drop waters but sometimes large rent increases mean that tough decisions have to be made.
That was the case with the small Tingrith lakes when the owners decided a circa 40% increase for the 2019/20 season and well above inflation annual increases represented good value.
Whilst the lakes are fun waters and represented good value in the past the Luton AC Board unanimously agreed that the £61,200+ of members money we would spend on rent at Tingrith over the next 10 years (with compounded increases) would be better used improving and restocking our other venues.
With this in mind we have already agreed to order some large carp asap for both North House and Beckerings with our target fish being over 30lb if available. These will replace larger fish which have died through old age over the years but in the past hadnt been replaced relying on smaller fish to grow on.
We will also continue to look to stock other species like the Ide, Barbel & Chub that went into Beckerings last year and are already providing excellent sport for our members.
In addition we hope to have the North House toilet in place for early in the new season and are working with the farmer at Beckerings to site a toilet there as well.
We are always on the look out for new waters or water share opportunities so are working hard for our members behind the scenes.
