READ THE RULES FIRST BEFORE JOINING TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN COMPLY WITH THEM ALL THE TIME.

***You must NOT kill or take away any fish

***Nie wolno zabijać ani zabierać żadnych ryb

***Nu poți ucide sau fura niciun pește

***Jūs negalite nužudyti ar pavogti jokios žuvies

Membership allows angling on most of the Association’s venues from 5.00am to 10.00pm (except Carlton on Trent and the River Rye where the start time is 7.00am).

Alternatively you can join by post by clicking below and download a New Membership form. You can also purchase a New Membership by visiting this retail outlet.

Please allow up to 21 days for us to process your application and send your membership card and information book. If you join online you can fish as soon as you have a confirmation email. You will receive the confirmation email* that will contain some of your details. You can either print this out or have it available on your phone when a bailiff requests to see your membership. If you cannot produce proof of membership you will be required to leave the fishery. This email is valid for 30 days from the date of joining.
*Confirmation email – Please note that there has been occasional issues with certain email providers like @talk21.com and @hotmail.com where security filters may sometimes block automated emails from services like Jotform. If you do not get your confirmation email within 24 hours please contact kevinclifford.office@gmail.com
