EGM – Mins to follow!
EGM 2009 EGM Summer 2009 Agenda
A copy of the letter being sent out containing the Agenda for the meeting next week. Unfortunately not everyone is going to receive this letter due to problems getting a hold of members addresses.
Dear member,
You are invited to attend the following meeting at Mlingavie Hall. The meeting has been called by the committee to discuss the unforeseen increase in membership this season, the issues this raises, and plans for the remainder of the year. While we have the opportunity the committee agreed it would be wise to add some additional items to the agenda to allow forward planning for next year. This is a great opportunity to get things in place for next year, and give everyone a chance to shape the future of the club. The committee would like to apologise for the lack of notice, this was due to an issue booking the hall. As per the constitution this meeting will discuss the points on the agenda. If you have anything else you would like to discuss please contact the committee.
Kind regards,
Paul Reid

Busy Bailiffs?
Just a wee update on our bailiff force:
- The voluntary bailiffs have been busy erecting signs.
- Two of the guys have been on an electro fishing course
- They are targeting areas where people poach
- They have removed several people from the water in conjunction with the police
- They have made good contacts with non anglers who live in houses next to the river – a lot of relationship building was needed to keep access to the river.
- They have been negotiating with supermarkets to have trolleys removed from the river.
- They removed the den next to the river at the transport museum (not their job however it was felt it was a significant danger to the kids that made it.
If you have not seen or met a bailiff then you probably have a permit – if you know of areas people regularly fish without permits then get in touch using the contact form or post on the forum over at urbanflyfisher.com
Like they say – Rome wisnae built in a day !
Poll: Are you happy with the signs?

Poachers with Nets?
The committee and bailiffs would like all members to keep an eye open for poachers using boats on the river who may be setting and checking on nets.
If you find nets or see any suspicious activity please contact us to let us know – if you find nets on the river please do not touch them – just contact a bailiff – the telephone numbers will appear on the site shortly.
In the meantime please use the contact us form.
Thanks for all your help!
Stocking 2009
The river was stocked at various sections on the 14th May with good sized trout and the usual juvenile Sea Trout.

The hard graft of carrying buckets of water full of fish was done by the voluntary bailiffs and other committee members.
We met many members on the night who enjoyed watching the fish being put in the river.

Club Publicity
It was a grand day out on the Kelvin today. The committee met with new bailiffs for a photo shoot with the Glaswegian and the Bearsden & Milngavie Herald. The articles will appear at some point in the future.
The bailiffs also met up with the local wildlife officer who will be working with the bailiffs in enforcing the clubs rules. Sadly, some members are still fishing from bridges – this is unacceptable as it clearly states on the permits this is not allowed. The new signs will make it clear that no fishing is allowed on bridges – all members are asked to comply with this rule – there are no exceptions.
The first signs have been erected – they are of a high quality and should last many years. The committee have decided the ones that have already been erected need to be a little higher – this was carried out on the spot by one of the bailiffs.
The Vet School was busy today – bright sunshine kept the trout away from feeding off the surface however that did not stop our new secretary Paul Reid from staying back for a few casts.
