Assuming the Scottish government give us a date to start fishing we are ready
to put up signage in place indicating the Social Distancing rules. All other
guidelines put in place by the government MUST be adhered to.
Stair Estates have agreed we can start fishing in line with the governments
start date at their waters. We are still trying to get confirmation from Scottish
Water for Knockquhassen and Penwhirn, and will update as soon as possible.
The committee will continue to negotiate with our landlords for extensions to
the season and possible reductions in rent.
The Sports Shop hope to be able to open to issue permits on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday from 9am till 11am and Friday from 4pm till 6pm.
You must phone first to arrange collection. No day tickets or buddie tickets will
be issued in the meantime. The price of permits will remain unchanged as any
reduction would be unfair to the 100+ members who have already joined.
A further stocking of fish will take place as soon as possible. A stocking of small
brownies was made during April but only at Soulseat due to the social
distancing regulations in place.
The club will, without doubt suffer financial losses this year, but the committee
believe our Association will remain strong for the future with the support of
our members.
Any issues or concerns members may have should be addressed in writing to
the secretary who will ensure the committee is informed and will take any
action appropriate.
Ron Collison (Secretary)
