St Helens AA Waters will be open to anglers from 8am on Wednesday 13th May 2020.

ALL anglers must follow the Government Advice in relation to social distancing at all times, the following must also be adhered to:

1. All Anglers must be in possession of a current 2020 St Helens AA permit and the relevant Environment Agency Fishing Licence. All permits and Licences must be signed and addressed before fishing on any of the club's waters (if a bailiff asks you to produce your permit, please do not offer the permit, but show the relevant pages to identify yourself instead)

2. One angler per peg, unless more than one household member is sharing, then proof of ID will be required (signed, addressed permit).

3. Anglers must not visit other anglers on their pegs (please maintain a social distance at all times).

4. Should any angler require emergency assistance for any reason from a neighbouring angler, we ask that a strict social distance is maintained in line with the government guidelines

5. All litter is removed on vacating a swim, ready for the next angler (COVID-19 can cross contaminate from general waste, please leave pegs as you would wish to find them).

6. Please be patient when club officials arrive to inspect permits (this is as strange a situation for them as it is for you).

7. No sharing of fishing tackle or other items.

8. You must carry hand sanitiser and use it before and after opening any gates, locks etc.

9. DO NOT go fishing or leave home if you are suffering from any of the symptoms of Covid 19, follow Government advice regarding isolation

10. Remember all our waters are accessible to the general public, so do not do anything contrary to the above items or the Government advice regarding Covid 19

11. St Helens AA Permits are currently only available on line via the clubs website, as we believe all fishing shops are to remain closed until at least 1st June.

Stay alert, take care and enjoy your fishing,

St Helens AA – match information

Due to the current Corona virus out break and the advice issued by the Government until further notice the draw for the Saturday & Monday sweeps will take place in the lane at the arches end. The match organiser (either Ged or myself) will take the pools money from the competitors one at a time, the draw will take place at the usual times, 9am on Saturday and 10am on Mondays. At the appointed time the pegs will be "drawn out by the match organiser" in the order that the competitors have booked in.

Anglers are not to crowd around the organisers and should approach individually and should follow Government advice regarding safe distances from each other.

If any angler shows any symptoms of the virus then they should not attend the matches until they have completed their respective self isolation periods, the last thing we want is anglers passing the virus onto fellow anglers some of whom are "getting on a bit".

Whilst weighing in, anglers should not follow the scales or crowd round the anglers weighing in. Payouts will take place at a designated location announced at the draw.

It would be appreciated if anglers can have the right monies for the pools – £15 on Saturdays & £10 on Mondays

Stay safe and look out for each other.

Dave Rigby, match secretary
