After a lot of discussion and debate(heated at times) the following rules have been agreed.....
Mind you, having had time to think about last seasons little hiccups, I think we've only got two ways to go! We've either got to put the rules in concrete so people can't break them without getting thrown out, OR to encourage people to go back to our old ways of having a laugh WITHOUT having to look over our shoulders all the time.... THE SECOND WAY TO ME IS INFINATELY MORE APPEALLING THAN THE FIRST!
I also think that some of the problems occur when people arrive at the waters without consulting the water rules and are stuck with the bait they've brought! That's an easy one to stop, as all the water rules will posted on this site as soon as I've got them all! The thing is, I believe there's still plenty of ways of catching those slippery little devils, so people will have no need to find an angle to gain an extra advantage, because surely aren't we all there, JUST FOR A PLEASANT DAY OUT!
I'm positive this will all be sorted out this year, but if it don't BULTI has offered his service as Club Bailiff and vowed to cut the nuts off any offender and feed them to the fishes. (Thats if groundbait is allowed at that venue!!)
