TWAPS Hawkhurst Match Results – 23rd August 2020 – Points Match/Belverdere Cup

Match number 4 at Hawkhurst Fishery. 11 anglers fished on a cloudy day with sunny intervals sitting close to a road which resembled race day at Brands Hatch at times.

Everyone caught, mostly carp to around 8lb with the average fishing weighing around 2lb.

Congratulations go to Matt Buxton on his win with a terrific weight in excess of 100lb. Also a special mention goes to Jeff Buxton who also had over 100lb of fish.

Well done to everyone on a successful day’s fishing.

Thanks go to Ian Collier for the smooth running of the match in Jack Dean’s absence, and to all those who helped with the weighing in.

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.
