around the complex very low due to the continued lack of any consistent rainfall, the Committee have agreed that it is now necessary to close the stalking swim and swim 19 (second tree tunnel) on Whyke 1 lake as they are both deemed unsuitable for use.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">These swims will be closed from Tuesday 13th October and until further notice so please ensure that you do not use either of these swims until water levels improve, at which time a further directive will be supplied.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">As always, the Committee extend their thanks for your understand and observance of this notification.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>29\/08\/2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Dear Members,<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">After such a long spell of dry and very hot weather, our water levels are currently very low and this means some of our swims are now very challenging for the safe landing of fish and indeed the safety of our members.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Please can everyone take a close look at their swims when choosing them and be certain that the distance from the edge of the swim to the water level is not going to prove problematic if you are fortunate enough to need to safely net a catch and also safely return it to the lake.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Some swims are less affected than others so please do take that extra few minutes before you set up, to make sure your swim is suitable for your available equipment and take into account your own personal mobility levels.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Above all, please all stay safe.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module

dry and warm period as we officially enter Autumn, the complex currently remains very busy as many of you take advantage of the unusually agreeable weather for late September.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">As a result, the Committee have decided to delay the introduction of 3 rods on Whyke and Churchyard Lakes and 2 rods on Long and Little Long Lakes for the time being. This will be monitored regularly and a further post will notify you when you can start using the extra rod.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">As always, the Committee extend their thanks to you all for your understanding and observation of this temporary directive.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>28\/09\/2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Dear Members,<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Committee has been monitoring the water temperature on the lakes for the past few weeks and it is clear that after such a long hot Summer, temperatures have not yet dropped sufficiently for pike fishing to start on 1st October 2026.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The decision has therefore been made to defer the start date for this season until water temperatures drop to 15 degrees. If possible, the season will be extended in 2027 beyond the usual end date to compensate but that will depend on water temperatures at the time.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The pike teach in dates will not be affected by this decision and the Committee will keep a close eye on water temperatures and provide a further directive when members with a pike stamp in their books can commence pike fishing.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">As always, the Committee extend their thanks for your understanding and observance of this decision which has been taken in the best interests of fish welfare.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>14\/09\/2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Dear Members,<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Following a meeting of the members of the CDAS Committee it has been agreed that with immediate effect the bait restriction is lifted and members can now use up to 4kg of bait in any 24-hour period.<br \/>It was also discussed and agreed that floater fishing can recommence on Whyke and Churchyard Lakes again with immediate effect but no floater fishing is permissible on Quarry, Long or Little Long Lakes.<br \/>As always, the Committee extend their thanks for your understanding and observance of these new directives.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>14\/08\/2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Dear Members,<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Many of you will have seen that there is now a ban on the sale of portable BBQs across the UK and the Committee have discussed this matter in detail.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">For the foreseeable future and due to so many fires starting up around the country with the tinder dry conditions, the Committee have decided to suspend the use of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>ALL DISPOSABLE BBQs<\/strong> <\/span><\/span>on the complex with immediate effect.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">It is appreciated that this will not be a directive many of you will want to hear and it will only remain in effect until weather conditions change and the risk of fires is minimised but for now the Committee extend their thanks for your understanding that this is a necessary step to safeguard the site at this point in time.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>All Members please tap on the link below<\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/chichester-as.co.uk\/home.html\/additional-carp-handling-bylaws-2\/\" style=\"color: blue;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ADDITIONAL CARP HANDLING BYLAWS<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/chichester-as.co.uk\/home.html\/fish-care\/\" style=\"color: blue;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FISH\/CARP CARE BEST PRACTICES <\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Dear Members,<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">For the foreseeable future the issue of day guest tickets will only be via SAS in Donnington or via the Secretary by post ( you must allow 7 days notice to allow Mrs Baker time to issue your ticket and must supply full details of yourself and your guest along with their EA licence number and the appropriate fee).<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">A further update on this matter will be issued in due course but in the meantime the Committee apologise for any inconvenience caused.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">FISH CARE<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Dear Members,<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">It has come to the attention of the Societies bailiffs that some members are still using cradles which are either not fit for purpose- please check the minimum dimensions in your Membership Books -
