6. John West said he had decided to stand down next year from the match secretary’s job. He felt it was now too much for him to do alone and now that his hoped for successor Nick Newns had left the committee he felt now was the time to go.
7. Tom following on from discussions on the chat page said he had enquired about testing equipment for the lakes and the best option would cost around £1200 this is not an insignificant amount of money and John Thompson said leave a decision til the next meeting and he would contact the EA to see if they could get us a better deal through them.
8. Phil asked if we could get a new chain for the gate at Cadover as the old one is now barely long enough after several lock repairs this year. Mark said he thought he had some chain and would replace it.
9. Richard asked Bill if we could put 2023 fish purchase on the agenda for the next meeting as if we intend to buy the talked about fish for weedy or indeed any other fish we need to order them soon. Bill said he would do this.
