Posted 12-09-2010 2010 Junior Multi Species Charity Challenge. This years event was fished by 26 children at our three regular venues of Broadwater (9 - 11am), Busbridge (11.30 - 1.30) and Marsh Farm from 2pm to 5pm. The weather was very kind to us being pleasantly warm and dry all day. Everyone caught fish and as usual there were regular cries of "Oh no not another perch!" The competition awards each child with one point per species per venue so once they have had a perch at Busbridge they don't want another until they are at Marsh Farm. Matt Patto caught 27 perch in a row at Busbridge much to his frustration and our amusement! Charley-Jane and India (the 2 smallest contestants) were in last place after Broadwater with just one point but leapt into the lead after Busbridge by adding a roach, rudd, perch and gudgeon each with Charley-Jane getting a double pointer by landing her perch with a jack pike attached! That was a first in this competition. Hot favourites (in their minds anyway) were Jordan and Jack. They were desperate to stop the girls from winning for a 4th year in a row and in a recount sneaked home by one point pipping Lily & Jack whilst joint 3rd were Oliver & Alex along with India and Charley-Jane. The other teams who were very close on their heels were: Brandon & Jordan; Liam & Mikey; Howie & Ronan; Paul & Reece (aka Tangler Brown); Ewan & Matt; Lauren & Ryan; Conor & Freddie; Josh & Jake and Team Torres - Brandon. The most sponsorship trophy was won for the second year running by Howie Murphy with a tremendous £208. The children (with lots of help from mums & dads raised a superb total of £812 which as always goes towards our School Charity in The Gambia. A BIG thank you to all the coaches and helpers who along with the children made it a day to remember. Lots of burgers and sausages consumed at the end which was the final BBQ of the year for the Junior Fish For Fun team who will all now spend the next few months recovering before we start all over again next year. |

Posted 11th Dec 09 New sluice unveiled The new sluice had its shuttering removed a week after filling with some 7 tons of concrete. The sheer weight made the shuttering warp a little. We now have a very effective water retaining sluice of a somewhat abstract design that we may put on display at the Tate Modern in years to come! |

Posted 11th Dec 09 Car park planters Three chunky planters in the club colours have been made by Andrew to replace some of the sleepers that marked out the car park. Four more of the 2.5ft sq ones will be made over the next few weeks to replace the remaining sleepers improving the look of the car park still further. They are all planted up with spring bulbs, have the Marsh Farm Fishery logo sprayed on the side and have safety reflectors attached to highlight their presence to anglers at night. |

Posted 11th Dec 09 Fencing repair completed The car damaged fencing at the entrance to Marsh Farm has been replaced now bringing back a respectable look to the fishery. It has been given two coats of dark oak paint and now looks better than ever. |

Posted 11th Dec 09 New sluice constructed on Marsh Farm. Construction of a new sluice to enable us to control the water coming from the borehole has been undertaken over the last couple of weeks. It involved digging out the base and the bank sides, installing shuttering, tying it in, internal metal reinforcing rods and a scaffolding platform to allow tipping the concrete from. On Tuesday morning the Mix a Mate lorry weighing in at a mere 44 tons turned up and kept off the grass! The 2.5 cm of concrete was moved little by little by power barrow to the site and then tipped into a wheelbarrow taken across the scaffold platform and tipped carefully into the shuttering below. Weighing in at 1 ton when loaded the power barrow was too heavy to run across the platform and too long to be able to turn and tip. Fortunately we had a fit young man to do the heavy work - thanks Alex. Down in the ditch was a concrete splattered Barrie happily tamping it all down and finally some two hours later trowelling it off to a smooth finish. Each wing of the sluice now holds something like 3.5 tons of concrete encased around the reinforcing rods installed a few days earlier. Later that afternoon, the scaffold planks were removed, pressure washer cleaned courtesy of Kevins machine, then returned to Gary who very kindly provided all the scaffolding free of charge. By Wednesday morning the concrete was solid, helped no doubt by a very mild night. Next week we will removed all the shuttering and be able to view the new sluice in all its glory! My thanks go to Barrie, Peter, Bob & Alex for helping achieve this new sluice. Andrew Mackenzie. Still Water Fishery Maintenance Manager. |

Posted 25 October 09 OUCH - WHO'S A LUCKY LAD THEN!? Yesterday morning there was potentially a fatal prang at Marsh Farm. A braking car apparently locked up and resulted in it cutting diagonally across the entrance and ploughing into the close board fencing. Lucky? - well yes very lucky as he just missed hitting the container and even more lucky; having wiped out the gas main behind the fence, causing the gas to escape at full velocity it did not ignite and he managed to reverse out of the fence and back onto the driveway without a scratch. Bob Pickett was quickly on the scene to help organise the Gas repair men, the fire service, police and stopping of the traffic. A great job Bob for which we all thank you. We (Godalming AS) have no idea where the fault (if any) lay but would ask all Members, Visitors and Guests to exit very carefully, especially when turning right. The most important thing is that no one was hurt.

Posted 31 August 09 Why Hill Pond is so popular. Hill Pond is small but beautifully formed and well stocked. Rarely are there any days when the fish don't play. It is loved by Juniors, mums and dads, and grandparents alike. Whips and poles are great way to fish here. There are lots of small Tench that give a great bend in the rod pus a handful of specimen fish too. Every now and then one of the big (8lbs) Tench, Crucian (4lbs) Perch (2.5lbs) put in an appearance and that's what makes the pond such fun. Roach, Rudd & Gudgeon make up the stocking plus a few rogue carp; the largest being one of 11lbs. It is a great coaching venue too with all swims easily visible from any point around the pond and with the BBQ lit on most Saturdays throughout the summer the smell of onions cooking wafting across the water is mouth watering! Birthday parties are held on here too and the kids have a great time. We have several qualified coaches in the club now and another batch ready to be trained this autumn to gain their coaching badges. If you would like more information on coaching or birthday parties please ring Andrew Mackenzie on 01483 424934. Here are some pictures taken by Nobby Clarke who is almost always to be found fishing on Hill Pond. Thanks Nobby. (click each image to enlarge)
