There will be a club meeting on Thursday 7th May 2026. Simone is going to give a presentation and update on the Bream and Pike tagging programme that is underway on the Broads. There will be some representation from the Environment Agency as well. This should be very interesting and topical, given the salt surges of last winter.

The meeting will start as usual from 8.00pm at the Beehive Pub, Leopold Road, Norwich, NR4 7PJ. It would be good to see as many of you there as possible.

Held on 9^th April 2026

1. Martin Ward has stepped down as Treasurer but remains a committee member. Graham Chappell was voted in as the new treasurer and has joined the committee. Welcome Graham.

8. This year has been our most successful as far as membership numbers, but it has also brought with it a few problems with boat abuse and rule breaking.
