During the school summer holidays from 24th July until the 30th August Holme Pit will be open to TVA junior members aged 14 (and below) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week.
We will supply the fishing tackle and bait for free and one of our Committee members will meet you at the pond, help you get set up and start fishing.

Current (2017/18) Holme Pit membership expires at midnight on the 15th June 2018. Following further discussions on the Work Party rule and buy out fee, the rule and fee have been scrapped. This means from 2018, TVA membership is cheaper. Click here for 2018/19 prices.
