The Earl's Annual Barbel Match 2018 - very happy with the result being as river conditions were far from ideal for the Barbel. Massive well done to James Handscomb on winning and also landing a PB at 10lbs 13ozs! James went home with £220 for winning and biggest Barbel. Second was Thomas Walker with a pristine fish at 9lbs 4ozs, winning £100 and Third, Steven Jukes with a 6lbs 11ozs. Steve went home with £50. Jack Neal also had a 5lbs Barbel. It was a Barbel Match but couldn't ignore some nice Chub being landed including 2 at 5lbs+ to Charlie Shaw and John Wildboar. Club Funds were boosted by £85 to carry on buying wood for peg improvements and £85 is on its way to Sight Support Derbyshire.

LET'S GO FISHING - NATIONAL FISHING EVENT 2018
First event of this kind on the Earl and am sure will now be an annual event. Very successful events at Mill Dam and Woodrow's Pond. Organised by Steve Clamp, Level 2 Angling Coach and our fantastic volunteers. Thanks to John Lock, Matt Lamb and Andy Ells for travelling down from Sheffield on Saturday. Also to any bailiffs that helped. If we have the volunteers, it means these events can definitely continue. Lastly, thanking the parents/carers and the children for coming along - without you it would have been rubbish!
