Subject to final confirmation of logistics, we hope to hold the final members competition outing for this season on Saturday 27th September. This is a “bait only” event for brown trout. Those interested in taking part, should register through their Clubmate booking page – just go to the date option in "make a booking" and follow the link for the Maciver Cup to book your place.
This event is open to all members however any youth members under 18 years of age as of the 27th September must be accompanied by a responsible named adult.
As always, we expect keen interest and would recommend early registration to avoid disappointment. Places are limited due to the logistics for access. Booking will close by the 24th September or earlier depending on numbers. No late bookings will be accepted. With apologies to all for the short notice this time due to various difficulties with confirming available dates.
Any member wishing to fish the competition and who will be driving a 4x4 vehicle on the day and able to assist with transport to the loch, is asked to drop us a note by replying to this email as soon as possible to help us with planning the day. It would be very helpful if you will also confirm how many registered participants would be travelling with you and how many, if any spare seats you have as this information will be of great value.
A full event “briefing” email will be sent to registered participants on or after the 24th September.
