Well its happened again , one of our club members has been down to Broggie Lagoon for a days fishing and found that there is rubbish in the pegs . He did the right thing and picked it up and found he had TWO carrier bags full out of just one peg !!!!!!!!!
This just is not acceptable anymore , IF ANYONE IS FOUND TO LEAVE LITTER OR HAVE LITTER IN THEIR SWIM THEN THEY WILL BE ENDORSED OR HAVE THEIR MEMBERSHIP TERMINATED
Please can all members help out here by looking for anyone that is leaving litter and just take their vehicle details and the club can then deal with it or call a committee member or the Balliffs and we will attend water andsort out the colprits
Thanks to the member that cleared the Lagoon for us and well done on also catching a lovely 13lb common as well
