I wanted to put this on the DDAS site
But did not know how to:

I have only just started fishing and joined DDAS.
Last Thursday I left my brand new rod and reel on the bank by mistake.
I was obviously upset, but being a new member did not know what to do.
I contacted Steve the only committee member I knew.
Although he was on holiday he chased the matter and soon found out it had been found and the rod returned to me.
So a big THANK YOU. to the person who found it (Andy Hawkins) and
a very big Thank you to Steve who calmly got on the case.
With all the not so good things happening around us at the moment,
This restored my faith in human nature
Also grateful to be a member of such a great club

A member left a decent rod at Luckfield this week (by accident of course).
Found and reported by another member between pegs 9 & 10.
By checking the log, we worked out who it probably was, contacted him & yes it is his.
Moral of the story:  Signing in & out (as required) assists us in many ways, especially for knowing the amount of trips along the unadopted lane that members make so we can work out the % of total cash we need to donate for the annual repairs of the lane between neighbours.
Work on it will be carried in October this year.. Watch this space for temporary closure of the lane & lake 🙏🎣
Thank you!

Just a polite reminder folks….
NO FIRES ‘of any kind, at any time’ at ALL of our waters, this has always been the case.
You may see controlled burns (not in the summer) at times, but please check them out if close by & report immediately if no one is present.
Thank you, enjoy the summer sport 🎣.
