The Christmas Cheer match on November 11 at The Oaks, Sessay on Alders Lake is now fully booked. This was originally due to be a silvers only match but is now a normal match. The café opens at 7.45am and you must use their feed pellets. The draw will be at 9am and fishing will be from 10am to 3.15pm. This is also the final of the club knockout and the season points decider. The members annual meeting has been arranged for Saturday, January 19 at Manningham Ward Labour Club on Bull Royd Lane. This will start at 12.30pm and food will be provided. Any member who wishes to add anything to the agenda should contact the secretary no later than two weeks prior to the meeting.

Listerhills AA

The club would like to state that there is no truth in the rumour that they are about to give up the lease at Pilley’s Dam. Several new watchers have been appointed for this water and volunteers are required to act as watchers on the canal. The match at Newton was disappointing. Result: 1 E Harrison 2lb 14½oz, runner-up P Wood 2lb 1oz. For Sunday’s members’ match at Pilley’s Dam the gate will be open at 8.30am with the draw at 8.45am. Juniors may fish but are not allowed to enter the sweepstake.

Great Horton AC

Last match of the season at Poppleton railway lake near York was a cold and windy occasion with all catching. Result: 1 P Dunne 27lb 1oz, 2 O Hudspith 22lb 10oz, 3 P Corfield 17lb 10oz. Congratulations to Peter Dunne on his first ever win. He also caught the largest fish of the season that day, a common carp weighing 10lb 5oz.

Field AC

Result of the Christmas Cheer match fished at Southfield Reservoir was as follows: 1 Bernard Hook 21lb 4oz, 2 Geoff Darke 20lb 8oz, 3 Keith Gardener 11lb 10oz, 4 Mick Stoney 10lb 11oz.
