PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE ENTRY TIME TO THROOP BEAT 2 HAS BEEN OMITTED FROM THE LATEST UPDATE SHEETS. NO ENTRY THROUGH THE GATES UNTIL 06-30 AS PREVIOUSLY IT WILL BE RE-INSTATED IN NEXT YEARS UPDATES.
The new car park at Blackwater will be open to members and day ticket anglers from 16th June, please be aware you are not allowed on the banks until then unless you have a Throop game ticket.
If you are coming from the Hurn roundabout towards Blackwater junction about 100 yards from the traffic lights you will see an entrance into the field on the right just after the trees finish. Go in the entrance and turn immediately left where there is a club gate (key required) go through the gate and follow the lane to the end where you will find the parking area adjacent to the river and bridge.
If you are coming from Christchurch go through both sets of traffic lights at Blackwater junction towards the airport and the entrance is about 100 yards on the left just before the trees start and follow instructions above.
The car park is a great asset for the club and we request that all members and day ticket holders park there when fishing this area.
The club are happy to announce that their waters will be open at 08-00 on Wednesday morning. Our normal rules will apply but we ask that members follow the government guidelines in order to keep themselves and other members safe.
Please be aware that we do not want cars queuing outside neighbours houses or causing obstructions, any member doing so will not be allowed to fish on Wednesday.
The committee have agreed that up to 4 bailiffs / committee members can enter early onto each of the following 4 lakes in order to assist with the start due to the exceptional circumstances. Rockford, Hightown, White Lake and Half Pit.
After last night's Government announcement it is obvious that Bournemouth Sports Club will not be open in time for the AGM in June and we have taken the decision to cancel it. Balance sheets for 2 years will be available at next years AGM.
As many of you are aware RDAA took the decision to close all waters due to Government guidance on containing the spread of Covid-19. We are monitoring news/updates from the government daily and will post an update on reopening waters when possible. Please note that when our waters do reopen members must be in possession of a valid membership card to fish. The expiry date must be valid.
