Canal Repairs In Progress

Due to a number of breaches to the banks of the canal in the Dogmersfield stretch, please be aware that the BCA is carrying out repair works in that area, and the works will continue for around ten weeks.

The canal has been “dammed” between Double Bridge and Crookham Wharf (Chequers Bridge) in Dogmersfield. This is likely to cause low water levels in the canal probably as far as Ash Wharf (Lock 29).

The work is badly needed, so please be patient. All should be back to normal by the start of the new season (June 16^th 2010).

Closed Season

Please note that, as in every year, the canal is closed for fishing between 15^th March and 15^th June inclusive. This is to allow safe and peaceful spawning time for the fish.

Head Bailiff Needed

We still have a vacancy for a Head Bailiff (and a Match Secretary) on the BCAA Committee.

This involves organising and managing the team of BCAA bailiffs on the canal, and is a key role on the Committee. If you are interested in helping, or you know somebody who is interested, please get in touch.

Contact Jeff Bunch (outgoing Head Bailiff), on 01252-326421.
