We will need a number of working parties over the course of the next twelve months to complete essential maintainance of our fishery. Dates will be posted here in due course. Your input is essential if we are to keep the fishery ship shape.

Two stockings have been completed so far this season and by all accounts there has been some great fishing had by members and guests. The rains seem to have been good for Scorton Lake where the water is 'gin' clear at the moment.

The times of further stockings will be posted in due course and all members are welcome.

SPRINGFIELD UPDATES

2023/2024

We have been fortunate to once again have a resident housekeeper. Emma Thistlethwaite joined us in April 2023 and has catered many dinners and a very successful wine tasting evening with wines supplied by Lancaster Wines who continue to provide the stock for our cellar.

Many of you will have met Emma and sampled her delicious culinary offerings but for those that haven't we encourage you to take the opportunity to do so.

Emma keeps Springfield up to a high standard which is much appreciated by all.
