Next MUAA Committee Meeting
A meeting of the MUAA committee is planned for Thursday 26th August. Please contact a committee member (or email mchlperks6@aol.com) with any items you wish to raise.
Peg Safety
Please note the following issues:
Peg 2 – the bottom step riser is missing so extra care must be taken when fishing from this peg.
As usual, please assess that your chosen peg is safe to fish from and report any issues to a committee member or directly to mchlperks6@aol.com
We hope you have an enjoyable season.
Request for Materials
To aid the repair of the fishing platforms and steps at Holdfast the club is on the hunt for materials, in particular any pallets or boarding 5 inches or more wide (eg old skirting board, decking board, or scaffold board) and battening or levelling pegs 1 1/4 inches square or above for supporting steps. Anyone that can help should contact the club chairman Ian Goddard on iangoddard@live.co.uk or 01386750704 – we can arrange to pick up material if necessary or it can be dropped off in the car park at Holdfast. Any donations will be gratefully received.
Coronavirus Update – 8th March 2021
Please also note that due to lockdown the AGM planned for 29th April has been postponed to a date yet to be arranged.
MUAA AGM and Presentation Evening – Thursday 25th April 2019
Malvern Anglers gathered at Newtown Club for their annual general meeting and trophy presentation. After a welcome by club chairman Ian Goddard and positive reports by club secretary Mick Perks and treasurer John Shaw, the match secretary was pleased to report a very successful year of competitions. The previous year had seen an increased number of participants in club matches that had been held on a variety of different river and pool venues. In particular, the matches had been competed in a good spirit with many close finishes and indeed, the 11 club trophies had been won by 10 different people.
The club expressed their appreciation to Sue Troughton, the riparian owner of the stretch of the river Severn at Holdfast used by the club, and she was invited to present the trophies to the winners.
The picture below shows Sue Troughton presenting the Club Champion Cup to Lee Harman.

Before you fish at Holdfast please check that your chosen peg is safe as the platforms can be disturbed or damaged by high river levels, passing boats and even passing people. Please report any pegs you consider unsafe to a committee member or via email to mchlPerks6@aol.com
Can all members please ensure that when fishing the Club water you clear and take away any rubbish you may have. Also, please take good care of the fish you catch by carefully unhooking and gently placing it in a fish friendly net.
