To fish a club match you must book in with our Match Secretary – Steve Thornhill
as certain matches have limited pegs.
The draw for all matches takes place one hour before the time stated in the
fixtures list below. Anglers wishing to take part in the matches must be a fully paid up member.
The Senior Match Series is made up of 3 legs with a points system in place, prizes are awarded to 1st,
2nd and 3rd places during each round and the winner at the final round presented with a trophy. These matches
are all overnight matches. Junior Matches are also overnight, but with the support of volunteers, again there
are prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places including a trophy for the winner. This is a great learning experience
for the junior anglers and also any amateurs keen to learn more about fishing.
The club is currently looking for someone to organise our River Matches. Any volunteers would be welcome.
For entry details or more information contact Steve on (01483) 826908 or email: match@guildfordanglingsociety.co.uk
*Please note that Brittens Pond will be closed at 7AM on match days.
