We had a test deployment of our water pump at Beckerings this evening in order for us to test the setup and know how to deploy it quickly and easily at any of our venues in an emergency oxygen crash situation. We've put together a step by step guide and will make it available to all our bailiffs and committee so anyone can now deploy the equipment easily in the event of an issue at any of our waters.

Committee and Officers Match 9th July - River Ouse Wyboston
Match Secretary Dennis Hunt managed to retain the Chairman's Shield in the Committee, officer's and volunteers match fished on the River at Wyboston today,
He had 64 Roach on hemp 4ft down in 15 ft water for the win, he weighed in 6lb 15oz, they didn't seem to want tares, as he only had a couple on those. He had a very athletic looking decent size pike leaping out of the water trying to snaffle the roach as he brought them in, it actually managed to take one and hooked itself, and that was good fun on a pole for about or 5 or 6 minutes until a size 18 hook straightened.
Dennis did rather well as the rest of the weights from the six other anglers were much lower between 2 and 3lb, my own net of fish was 2lb 2oz of mainly small Perch. I think I'd have done better if I'd had more lobworms as they didn't seem interested in the maggots, and I only had a few worms with me.

Match Report 5th July 2023 -
Grand Union Canal - The Globe.
16 anglers turned out to fish at The Globe stretch of the GUC at Leighton Buzzard this week. The weather was overcast at the start but brightened up to give some nice sunshine from midday, though accompanied by a stiff breeze. The canal carried a little extra colour following the previous day's rain but generally, the mood was optimistic.
There were quite a few boats moored on the pound, which meant that the angler who drew the higher number pegs had a somewhat lengthy walk. At the start of the match, all seemed to go well with most reporting steady catches of fish in the first hour. However, heavy boat traffic ensued throughout the remainder of the match, which made things more difficult as baiting up was usually quickly nullified by passing boats. Some anglers even experienced being double boated by craft passing through their swims.
From the weights it appeared that the low numbered and high numbered pegs at either end were most favourable this week with the middle pegs returning some very low weights - so much so that some anglers did not bother to weigh in.

1st Andy Frankum 30lb 11oz

Many thanks to Julie and the staff at the Globe for allowing us to park, and special mention must go to Malcolm Ogden who is becoming quite the Specimen Hunter of the group, and thanks to Les and Ray Burton for pegging out and weighing in.
For anyone thinking of joining us for the first time can we ask you message us so we know you are coming before turning up, so we can ensure we have room as this will allow us to better manage the pegging. You will be asked to produce your Club book at first appearance, so please have it with you.
Next week we will fish the Ouse at Eaton Ford 8-30 draw in the car park £1 Wednesday peg fee, £5-00 optional pools.

Thats all for this week,
