Work Parties and Events 2019
All pre-season work parties are complete. Thank you to all the members who attended.
Sunday 23rd June, 9am - 1pm. "Excalibur" treatment at Holme Pit (a liquid produced from barley straw) - it doesn't affect the fish or the fishing but you may have to bring your rods in for a couple of hours.
Work parties dates for July and August to follow shortly.
Because TVA is a "not for profit" club, we are dependent on members helping us look after the Trent Valley, its wildlife and angling resource. All members and the local community are welcome to get involved. Here's a summary of the type of work we have done and plan to do in the future.
There is always something to do for all ages and abilities so why not come along and get involved and tell us what you think and any ideas you have to improve the Trent Valley and angling experience.
As an incentive to attend work parties, we are offering 2 free Membership Books to the 2 members that attend the most work parties. These are awarded at AGM's.
For more information, please email trentvalleyangling@btinternet.com or phone Sion Harvey (Work Party Manager) on 07447 013909.
