Tim Grover and his son had a great time along the Grand Union Canal

Plenty of trees and branches down around the venues after yesterdays high winds. Here are some of the ones down on the Wyboston complex. The bailiff team were hard at work from 6am this morning clearing what they could ahead of our qualified chainsaw operators arriving on site. The big one across the river will need to be taken care of by the EA with boats only just able to navigate past it. Thanks to everyone who has helped with the clear up.

Please be aware that some trees and branches may have been damaged by yesterdays gales but not fallen so do consider where you fish and have a good look at whats above you. Stay safe.

MONTHLY PHOTO COMPETITION

Kieran Cove has won the £25 July photo competition. Well done to Kieran who is a regular contributor and sends in some great photos. Kieran caught his 29lb 8oz mirror from Kempston Lake in July.

Theres still time to enter the £25 August photo competition which is open to all current Luton AC members. It must only be a catch photo from August 2019 and will be judged by the Luton AC Board. The prize goes to the captor and not the person who took the photo. Closing date for entries for August is 1st September 2019. Good luck

Heres an interesting read written by our canal bailiff Michael Wilkins
