Membership

ORDINARY MEMBERS

There is a maximum of 120 Ordinary Members of the Association, the membership being divided into three classes authorised to fish for species, subject to holding the appropriate Environment Agency Licence, as follows.

(a) Salmon, Migratory Trout and Brown Trout

(b) Migratory Trout and Brown Trout

(c) Brown Trout only

New members are initially placed in class (c) and promotion to class (b) and subsequently (a) is made as vacancies occur.

Of the Ordinary membership, only those in class (a) may fish Totnes Weir Pool. (To avoid congestion the latter are alotted either odd or even dates when they may fish TWP for Migratory Trout - see fishing regulation 4)

Members of classes (a) and (b) occasionally may fish in a higher class as guests of members of those classes, subject to the rules and regulations of the Association.

Application for membership is welcomed and should be made in writing to the Hon. Secretary. Prospective members need to be proposed and seconded by an existing Ordinary or Life Member and if accepted will be placed on the waiting list on payment of a non-returnable registration fee. When a vacancy in class (c) occurs, membership is attained and the season ticket fee for that class becomes payable.

Future promotion to classes (b) and (a) as vacancies occur is on payment of a promotion fee in addition to the Season ticket price. The fee at the time of writing is equal to the difference between the the season ticket price of the class to which the member is moving and that of the class he is leaving.

JUNIOR MEMBERS

We are particularly keen to welcome Junior Members as they represent the furure of both the Association and of angling.

Junior members should be under 18 in the February of the appropriate season. Membership entitles them to fish on a regular basis for Brown Trout only. Occasionally however, they may fish in classes (a) or (b) as guests of members of those classes, subject to the rules and regulations of the Association.

LIFE AND HONORARY MEMBERS

Life and Honorary members are appointed from time to time by the Committee in recognition of services to the Association and are in addition to the 120 Ordinary members.

SUBSCRIPTION FEES

Annual subscription (season ticket) fees are due on the 1st of February. Late fees are subject to a late payment premium. Fees unpaid by 1st March may result in termination of membership.

 

All of the above is subject to the rules and regulations of the Association and may change without notice being given on this web site.
