It was great to see such a good turnout and the meeting went extremely well.It was an opportunity to look back over another busy year for the Association, with continued investment in our fisheries, strong membership, ongoing conservation work and a huge amount of work carried out by our volunteers, committee members and bailiffs.Thank you also to everyone who contributed to the discussions and questions during the evening.We finished the meeting with some particularly exciting news…EDAA is progressing with the purchase of Berry Ponds.A huge amount of work has already gone into transforming the site, and securing the ponds for the Association will protect this fantastic fishery for the long-term benefit of our members.Subject to the purchase completing as planned, we look forward to opening Berry Ponds to members in May 2027.More updates on Berry Ponds will follow as the project progresses.

A blustery Sampford Peverell was the venue for the latest Over 55s match. First from peg 5, Graham Davie weighed 16lbs 2ozs to win. The majority of Grahams catch were 2 carp, one of 8lbs 8ozs and a second weighing 6lb 7ozs. Both caught from the margins on worm hook bait. Second from peg 1, Julian Brown had 11lbs 8ozs, featuring a carp of 6bs. Feeder tactics proved successful. Third from roadside peg 11, Rich Howcroft returned 9lbs 2ozs. Again a carp of 8lbs making up most of his weight. The next match is at Abbrook on the 16th, book in as usual.
PLEASE TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME – A REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERSUnfortunately, a carrier bag full of rubbish had to be collected from around the ponds at Sampford Peverell today.We work hard to maintain our fisheries and provide pleasant, safe places for our members to enjoy. Leaving litter behind is simply not acceptable and creates unnecessary work for the volunteers who give their time looking after our waters.This is a reminder that every member is responsible for leaving their peg and the surrounding area clean and tidy.Please take everything you bring with you home – including food packaging, drinks containers, line, hooks and other fishing-related waste. If you find a small amount of litter left by somebody else, we would also really appreciate you picking it up where it is safe to do so.Although today’s issue was at Sampford Peverell, this reminder applies to all Exeter & District Angling Association venues.Our fisheries belong to the membership and their condition reflects on all of us. Please respect the waters, the wildlife, other anglers and the volunteers who look after them.Leave nothing behind except your footprints.Thank you for your cooperation.Exeter & District Angling Association
