Jan 23rd  is the AGM. Main item is to elect a new executive to manage the club's affairs during 2019. To do this we need  a quorum of 20 eligible (i.e. current members of TUC} members. We also need some people to volunteer for without an executive we cannot continue. So please consider standing for a position. If interested and need more information please contact the Nominating Committee Chair, Michael Dell, President@nlft.org   Other agenda items include reports from he executive on 2018 and a vote to approve a new Constitution (for which see a previous post in this section of the forum).   If you are unable to attend please vote by proxy by completing the attached proxy form and passing it on to any club member who will be attending.
 
Jan 30 is a Roundtable:Session designed to share information  on fishing locations.  Where do you like to fish?  Share one of your spots, and tell us however much you want to give away about fishing it.  Where to go? What to use? When to go?  Favourite flies?  Stories? You don't need to tell us everything, in fact we expect you to keep certain essential details to yourself, so that others can learn them on their own.  Tell some, but don't tell it all.
 
Best wishes for the New Year.
