Ignore all this spiel below it turns out I was wrong.
The River can drop this quick in two days.

I’ve not made such a mistake since I ordered 20,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside.

So the match will now be back on the River as previously planned everybody that was on the existing list as of Thursday can turn up tomorrow and Fish if they like.
We will peg the River throughout and take out what’s needed in the morning.

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused to members and the match group.

The Pools money will be £20 each this will pay 5-6 peg mini Section and a top 3.
The Draw will be a Creech Castle Carpark at 8.30am
The fishing From 10am to 3pm

Dan I’m in

Mike Hosgood not fishing Add Dominic Withington and Tony Frost for Chard

I'm in mate

Due to the expected rain yesterday and overnight, the river will be out this Sunday. It’s currently close to 900 on the Bishop’s Hull gauge.
The minimum reading required to run a match on this gauge being 450, which would give us enough pegs, but at this stage it’s very unlikely to drop back in time.

As an alternative, I can put a match on the canal for anyone who still fancies a day’s fishing. If you’d like to do that, please comment below.

If you don’t fancy it please also let us know.

Looking at the weather for Sunday it’s blowing a howler and raining if a lot drop out and Quite understandably I’ll cancel the match

Match update for this coming Sunday.

The Taunton v Chard match is currently scheduled to take place on the river, on the fast stretch. At the moment, the river is in perfect condition. However, as usual, we have some weather coming in, so we’ll need to see how things develop.

A final decision will be made by Friday once we can properly assess conditions.

If the river becomes a washout, I will run a match on the canal for those who have the passion for it.

Regards,
Dan
