These are being distributed to tackle shops and ticket agents on Saturday 8^th January.

There were a number of reasons for the late distribution, including that bane of all humans. That four letter word “WORK”

They should be available in the afternoon.

Matches are planned for both the River Aire and Leeds-Liverpool canal on Sunday 9^th. The river match is expected to use the bottom length. The canal match, which is more sensitive to the weather in that the canal is frosen and depends how much of a thaw takes place to allow the ice on the canal to be broken. It proved impossible to break the ice last Sunday 2^nd.

Dec 26 – Canal and River matches cancelled

David — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 23:49:25 +0000

The canal is thickly iced
The river has ice at the edges, floating chunks floating down the centre
and in some places, particularly near Baildon Bridge quite a thick layer of surface ice.

Dec 19 – canal match abandoned

Severe icing on the canal boats length and only three people showed up.

David — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 21:16:42 +0000

The ice has not cleared sufficiently to run the pike match planned for Saturday 18^th December. Some members may be fishing for pike between the ice flows.

We will probably try again for a date in January 2011
