Booking conditions for matches at borwickfishing

2. Applications, which will be dealt with in strict rotation, must be in writing and should be accompanied by a self addressed envelope, in each case. Provisional reservations may be made by telephone (01829 732748), but these will only be treated as firm bookings when the application has been confirmed in writing, and the appropriate reservation fee (see below) has been paid.

3. A non-returnable reservation fee of £7.50 per match (irrespective of the number of pegs booked), must accompany each application. The booking fee is intended to cover administrative charges arising from dealing with the application. It is separate from, and will not be off-set against, the peg-fee charges.

4. Apart from ‘Open’ matches (see 5 below) and ‘Hospitality’ events (see 6 below), peg fees will be charged at the introductory rate of £4.50 per peg booked. Other than matches booked as ‘Open’, peg fees must be paid in full one month in advance. Failure to do this may result in the length being re-let.

5. ‘Open’ matches: Where matches are booked as ‘Open’ events and this is specifically stated when the application is made, payment may be deferred to the day of the match and will be for actual number of anglers fishing. The subsequent payment will be at the rate of £5 per angler competing in the match subject to a minimum payment of 80% of the number of pegs requested.

6 ‘Hospitality’ events: Whole pools may be reserved for ‘Hospitality‘ events, peg fees will be charged at the introductory rate of £5.50 per total number of pegs on the pool. Fees must be paid in full one month in advance. Failure to do this may result in the pool being re-let.

7. No allowance will be made for cancellations or for any reduction in the number of pegs previously booked, unless the Booking Agent has at least seven clear days notice to this effect, in advance of the date on which the match is due to take place.

8. Clubs which cancel without due notice, or simply fail to turn up without any explanation, will be invoiced at the appropriate rate, for the pegs previously reserved.

9. Adjustments will only be allowed in those instances where, due to circumstances beyond the club’s control, it is ruled that the match can either not go ahead as planned, or the number of pegs has to be reduced.

10. Special rates will apply in the case of matches that are held exclusively for disabled anglers or junior competitors only. Relevant details will be provided on request.

11 Any pegs not occupied within one hour of booked time for the start of events, other than ‘Hospitality’ bookings, may be re-let to day visitors.

12. All match bookings are accepted on the understanding that individual anglers competing in the matches will possess valid Environment Agency rod licences. Keep nets will be permitted for the duration of the match only (up to a maximum of 5 hours) and must conform to the minimum requirement as laid down in the Environment Agency bye-laws. All fish are returned to the water as carefully as possible, after being weighed at the angler’s peg.

13. No litter or rubbish is to be deposited in the water or on adjoining property by anglers taking part in the match and all competitors must remove all litter from their pegs at the end of the match. Failure to do this may result in the competitor and club being charged for litter removal.

14. Participants must abide by bye-laws, regulations, terms and conditions in force, which may be inspected on request.
