It was a relatively mild mid November day and 9 TWAPS anglers and guest angler, John Larraman, the Lavender Farm fishery owner, gathered to fish the last match of the 2023 season – the Committee Cup match. The Committee Cup is awarded to the highest placed Committee Member in this match and there are no points awarded. For most, the fishing was slow and arduous. Terry Williamson, one of TWAPS’ best match anglers, had a relatively good day, taking first place with 40lb 14oz. Match newcomer, Sara Whitlock, did exceptionally well securing second place with 19lb 5oz, and in third place and winner of the Committee Cup, was Ian Collier with 7lb 3oz. Congratulations to all three.

Blue Lake Re-opening Delay – Update

Members.

Blue Lake Re-opening.

As you may or may not be aware, the Blue Lake was due to be re-opened on 1st April 2023.

Unfortunately the re-opening has been delayed for health and safety reasons.

Very recently a skip lorry collided with and damaged the footbridge that crosses the access road to the Blue Lake (near the inner gate), the result of which has made the bridge and the access road unsafe.

The Blue Lake will remain closed to all TWAPS Members until further notice.

Update

EDC (Ebbsfleet Development Corporation) are waiting for insurers to confirm the start date for works on bridge, which is imminent.

We will keep everyone updated

If you have any questions, please use the TWAPS website contact form: https://twaps.co.uk/contact/

Apologies for the short notice.
