Currently working on the new PR Fishing Membership cards, if all goes well they should be starting to get printed next week.

They will be printed on plastic card so will be a lot more durable then the current solution.

I will be reaching out to members via email to send a picture for your card, catch pictures are allowed as long as members faces can be seen.

You will notice there will be a WhatsApp group setup, joining is optional.

Trying to decide on when and where PR Fishing should hold a monthly or quarterly get together for members to share war stories of their last catch over a coffee or beer at the Queens Head or even somewhere in Oswestry.

What are peoples thoughts about this, all ideas are welcome?

I would also like to see what people's thoughts are on holding a small match either on the monty canal or at a local pool for example Wigmore lakes?

Sadly it was discovered today that some person/persons have been stealing and attempting to steal the PR Fishing signs from the Monty.

We will be replacing the signs over the coming weeks as we have to use Canal and River Trust approved suppliers.

We have just been loaned an Industrial Strimmer which we intend to put to good use over the coming days. (Weather permitted 🤣)

Specific areas of interest have been marked out to clear swims out so that PR Fishing ticket holders can gain access to the waters edge easier than before.
