Cramond Angling Club, who have a nine-mile beat on the River Almond, have confirmed that their 2023 annual general meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 22 (7pm) at Cramond Boat Club.
All members of the club are entitled to attend and general members, senior members and student members are entitled to vote.
Nominations for election to the committee should be received by email to secretary.cramond@gmail.com by 15 November and they should include the names of the proposer and seconder.
Proposed motions, including details of proposer and seconder, should be received by email to the club secretary for consideration of the committee no later than November 15.
A spokesman said: “It would be great to see as many members as possible at the meeting. It is your club and we want to hear your views and comments.”
Members should note that all catch returns should be completed by November 30 and they can be completed using the online forms on Fishing around the Forth website. (www.fishforth.org).
The spokesman said that you navigate to the Cramond Angling Club section and, at the bottom, there is a link which will take you to catch returns. You should complete the form online and submit.
He added: “This is a mandatory requirement of the club’s leases and MUST be completed, particularly for migratory fish. Note also that those days when you have fished but not caught anything must also be recorded as NIL return.
“This is important for accurate measurement of Fishing Effort and helps to keep the clubs fees to Forth District Salmon Fisheries Board as low as possible. Your help in this is appreciated.”
