Club rules
N.B. members are required to attend at least two meetings a year, one of which may be the A.G.M. Failure to do so will result in the loss of membership and its associated privileges* for Rib Valley lakes.
Members must be in possession of a current E.A. Licence and are required to familiarise themselves with Rib Valley fishery rules and when competing the relevant Club Competition Rules. Members must abide by those rules; failure to do so may result in expulsion from the Club.
When fishing at Rib Lakes all members must sign in at the lodge as usual but in addition must enter their Club membership number in the appropriate column in the sign in book. Please carry your Club card with you as the bailiffs may require to view this as proof of current membership. Catch return cards, including nil returns, must be completed and left in the returns box at the completion of fishing.
