Sad loss
Regretfully we have to announce the sad death of member George Hawes last Monday after a major heart attack. George had been in poor health for the last few years but it did not stop him from fishing his dream water at Thornton Steward Reservoir. Doing the catch returns throughout the season for TSR it has to be said he knew how to fish the water and all fish returned. At this sad time the committee and also the members we offer our deepest sympathy to his wife and family . RIP.
Rods at the Ready
The season gets underway on Saturday and any chance of an early fish will certainly be on our Till beats. If you do wish to wet a line on this river please remember it is fly only for the first two weeks.
2020 AGM
Last reminder that our AGM takes place next Wednesday at Birtley Golf Club with a prompt 8.00pm start. The clubhouse will be open for the early arrivees from 7.00 pm. If you do attend please ensure you bring your agenda and minutes for the 2019 AGM. The committee look forward to seeing as many members as possible attend for what the committee believe will be a very informative evening.
