NEWS 1 October 2022 to 31 October 2022

New 2023 Charges.

Subject to change, the website has been updated and all 2023 charges can now be seen at www.manor-fisheries.co.uk. The charges for 2023 are summarised below:

Accommodation Charges

Unfortunately, as mentioned over the past months, it has become inevitable that 2023 Apartment charges are now higher due to significant increases in energy and many associated costs. To minimise the effect of the higher accommodation charges, associated fishing charges stay unchanged at the 2019 rates and the discount for all fishing reserved is raised from 10% to 25%.

Membership Charges

These remain unchanged from last year and stay at the 2021 rate. Applications for 2023 Membership can now be made noting Membership numbers will again be limited.

Fishing Charges

These remain unchanged from last year and stay at the 2019 rate. The charge for a non-fishing guest also remains unchanged at No Charge.

Our thanks to Terry Keard for providing this autumn picture
