The Driberg cup which was cancelled on 28th August has now been rescheduled for Sunday 25th September at Boreham black bridge. Kim Naish will be running this match and if anyone is interested please let Russell know on 07736238097 or Kim on 07979620127 - Thanks Russell.

I have just received news that the CAA match at Beeleigh on Sunday was won by Chris Dyall with a top weight of 95lbs 4oz, 14 Bream the biggest weighing 10lbs.

Here are three of the Bream – we believe that 95lb 4oz is a river match record for the Chelmer & Blackwater canal, the next best weight that can be recalled is around 69lb.  If you know differently feel free to let our webmaster@maldonas.co.uk know.

Our main agent JP Tackle is now open on Sunday mornings between 8am and midday for memberships, keys, guest tickets, day tickets for the canal, bait, tackle and so much more.

The concessionary match on Tuesday 26th July listed as Heybridge Basin will be changed to Papermill Lock.
