banned for using nuts
At the July 2006 Committee meeting a 17 year old member has been banned for life from being a member of the Association for being caught by a bailiff using brazil nuts for the second time. Ben Pitts had been previously suspended for two months for using nuts and fishing without a night permit in September 2005 at Silver End Pits. |

types of nuts banned
In the interests of the well-being of fish, the Committee has amended Rule 30 to ban the use of all nuts on all waters. This rule change is due to the irresponsible use of brazil nuts at Silver End Pits.
