Member Benefits

First and foremost there is the opportunity to talk with our members and get the benefit of their local water knowledge, methods and rigs to give you a headstart on that new tench campaign.

Get access to TenchTalk.net, the members' exclusive web forum!

There is the opportunity to share this knowledge with other members via our professionally produced bulletin, that usually runs to 60 pages or more of articles and good sociable humour! We also produce an annual results bulletin that records our tench successes across the season, by water and by member. You can also check up on the most successful baits as well.

The fish-ins, both national and regional, each season provide a social opportunity for members to meet. The national fish-in is normally held in May and we have been visiting the Carp Society's Horseshoe Lake for the past few years.

Our sponsors also offer good tackle deals.

We hold two national meetings each year (Spring General Meeting in April/May and the AGM in Oct/Nov). These are an excellent opportunity to meet fellow tenchfishers from all parts of the country, to discuss baits, tackle, waters and tactics in general.

A number of trophies are up for grabs each year, for the largest tench, the largest float caught tench, the best bulletin article etc.

Individual Membership is just £30* for new members, including a once off joining fee of £10.
(* Next subs of £20 then due 31st May 2009)

Additional Family Members may join for a further £5. This entitles other members of the same family, that reside at the same address, to participate in the group activities (i.e. meetings, fish-ins etc). However, only one bulletin will be sent to the main family member, not to each additional family member. Please contact Peter Davies, Membership Secretary for further details.
