23rd February 2010 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes

Good news is that dependant on weather conditions next week we should see the delivery of a new batch of fish for both Grey Mist Mere and Sandiway Lakes. VS Fisheries is the supplier of these 35 home grown mirror carp ranging in size from 9lbs to over 14lbs.

There will be working parties this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) on both Grey Mist Mere and Rixton Claypits so if you want to put something back into your sport just turn up on the day. Pathways and pegs are the main thrust on both fisheries where the excellent efforts by volunteers to date are self evident.

Saturdays local winter league results saw Mike Savage fishing for Saracens Head need only 1-14-13 to top the individual results with Craig Richie runner-up with 5ozs. 2drams. On a day when there were lots of dry nets Cheshire Angling Gold team all caught fish making them the winning team on the day with 26 points followed by Saracens Head on 18. The overall league tables with only two matches remaining are now headed by Cheshire Angling Gold on 154 points giving them a 19 point lead over Warrington Gold.

The Disabled and over 60's event on Monday was moved at the last minute to the 'Dead Length' which was the only place which was ice free. Trevor Bainbridge who reportedly was fishing with bread punch for the first time proved that he was a quick learner as he took the top spot with a nice net of small roach for 3-2-0. Bill Stockton on 1-10-2 was second with a skimmer and roach net.

The Trent & Mersey event on Sunday on the Red Lion Stretch was won by Gary Mannion with 3-4-0 of bread punch caught small roach. The weights then plummeted and saw Craig Richie take the runner-up spot for the second time in the weekend with 12ozs.

The very successful Sainsbury's Active Kids Scheme in its 6^th phenomenal year has now been opened up to Clubmark Clubs (up to now it has been restricted to schools, scout, and guide groups).

From now until the 8^th June Sainsbury's shoppers can earn Active Kids vouchers for every £10 they spend in a main store  (or for every £5 spent in Sainsbury's Locals), at Sainsbury's petrol stations or online at sainsburys.co.uk.

As a Clubmark club new young anglers would really benefit if you donated these vouchers to Warrington Anglers Association to redeem on their behalf for tackle products.

Please continue sending in your catch reports as they are valuable to both your fellow members and your committee. Contact me either by phone Tel 01928 716238 or email frank@warrington-anglers.org.uk.

HQ Parker Street is open as usual on Friday evening between 7 & 9pm for subscriptions, night permits, and new memberships (these can also be purchased from any of our tackle shop outlets listed on our website www.warrington-anglers.org.uk )
