There will be an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Wem Angling Club held on Thursday 6 April 2017 in the Wem Conservative Club commencing at 7.30pm. All members are invited to attend. The meeting has been called by the Committee to consider two proposals for changes to the Club Constitution.
PROPOSAL ONE
Rule 19 currently states:
“Associate Membership is limited to 100 of whom up to 10 may be at concessionary rates.”
It is proposed to change this to read:
“Associate Membership is limited to 100.”
This change is proposed and seconded by the Committee.
PROPOSAL TWO
Rule 40 currently states:
“Trustees. Eight responsible persons may be nominated from volunteers prepared to undertake the duties of Trustees of the Club. Trustees are responsible for overseeing the general and financial welfare of the club and will be expected and prepared to stand guarantors for any financial transactions undertaken by the club. Trustees will come up for re-election using a rolling system, with the two longest serving members stepping down and being replaced or re-elected after an agreed period of time, normally four years.”
It is proposed to change this to read:
“The President, Chairman, Vice Chairman and Secretary shall act as Trustees of the Club while in office. Their responsibilities as Trustees are limited solely to those required for Land Registry and Land Deed purposes.”
This change is proposed and seconded by the Committee.
There is no ‘Any Other Business’
Members are reminded that while they are all welcome to attend the meeting only local members, other than juniors, may vote. Also, voting is by show of cards only.

24 JULY 16 - DEADLY CARP VIRUS
THIS ONE IS IN RED AND CAPITALS BECAUSE IT IS URGENT AND IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT SOME LOCAL FISHERIES HAVE BECOME INFECTED WITH A DEADLY CARP VIRUS. WHILE DETAILS ARE SKETCHY, THE FACT THAT THE VIRUS IS AROUND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. ADVICE IS THAT 80% OF INFECTED FISH WILL DIE. THE REMAINING 20% WILL SURVIVE BUT PASS THE VIRUS ONTO HEALTHY FISH.
THE COMMITTEE IS SEEKING URGENT ADVICE FROM THE EA ON THE BEST STEPS TO TAKE TO PROTECT OUR FISHERIES. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE TO DISINFECT NETS AND WE ARE LOOKING TO PUT DISINFECTANT TANKS IN PLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU DO FISH AT ANOTHER FISHERY THEN PLEASE TAKE ALL PRACTICAL STEPS TO PROTECT BOTH HAWK LAKE AND TILLEY GREEN.
WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!
8 APRIL 16 - PUTTING FISH 'OVER THE WALL' AT HAWK LAKE
THIS ONE IS IN RED AND CAPITALS BECAUSE IT IS URGENT AND IMPORTANT.
THERE ARE SUGGESTIONS THAT SOME MEMBERS BELIEVE THAT IT IS CLUB POLICY TO PUT CARP OVER A CERTAIN SIZE 'OVER THE WALL' INTO THE PIONEERS AT HAWK LAKE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE.
IF YOU DO DO THIS YOU ARE CONTRAVENING THE CLUB RULES AND RISKING A LIFE TIME BAN FOR DOING SO.
PLEASE STOP ANYONE YOU SEE DOING THIS AND LET THE COMMITTEE KNOW. ALSO PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AMONGS YOUR FELLOW ANGLERS.
