Shipston AC/ADDAC-4 Match
Held at Clifford Chambers Lake
Sunday 27 February 2022
What an exciting end to the joint Shipston/ADDAC winter league with it going right down to the line on the final day. This is what club fishing is all about and whilst the banter was jovial and hilarious at times we all wanted to be there or there abouts at the end.
It was decided who won the league on the combined weights from the 4 matches at Clifford Chambers and Aston Magna. Peter Kilbride was in the lead at the start and he caught well to finish in 5th but John walkden managed to draw level on points but nipped into the lead catching 89lb 04oz where Pete had 82lb 09oz. In third was Andy one point above Stuart Flemingin fourth. Graham finch who won on the day with 69lb 04oz finished in 5th place.
We must all thank Martyn Edwards for sponsoring the match as he has done since the league started and all the anglers who fished in all weathers and we all look forward to next years league.

MK Hawkes Cup
Held on the River Stour
Sunday 20 February 2022
It was touch and go as to whether the match was fished or not. The recent storms (- Dudley & Eunice) that hit the region meant that the river was high and coloured and conditions were rough but with less than a month to go before the close season for river fishing the match anglers that turned up to fish and decided that we should give it a try.
All the anglers caught fish despite another storm building up, this time it was storm Franklin and whole branches and debris started floating by at a rate of knots and even a trampoline was spotted submerged in the river. The results were:
1st place was Stephen king (Sparrow) with 4lb 10oz.
2nd place was Mal Hallows with 3lb 11oz.
3rd place was Barry Giles with 3lb 10oz.
4th place was Stuart Fleming with 2lb 10oz.
5th place was Les Ashby with 2lb 01oz.
All the others were around the 1lb mark.
We are now looking forward to the annual 24th Shipston AC Open match on the 5th March and with the recent form it should be a good match.

Chairmans Report
Dave Oxford
For Year 2020 - 2021
1. 2021 still had problems with the COVID epidemic in the early months of the year. With match officials drawing pegs the night before the match. Monthly committee meetings have been run using the zoom system on computers at home, until the autumn when we returned to our normal venue at the Coach and Horses. Unfortunately, a new virus has spread into the country so this could affect our fishing next year.
2. Club membership has dropped by 30 members since last year. This was expected as the increase the previous year was due to COVID 19.
3. A lot of work has been done by members at the lakes at Aston Magna. The middle lake was drained and desilted and a much larger island was formed. It was netted and it was found to have had very few fish in the lake. This is now being refilled and stocked with Roach, Rudd Skimmers and Tench. Work will be done in 2022 repositioning the pegs. The match lake was fished reasonably well the matches have been with Bream the Carp did not show until autumn. The car park was fished well all season with Roche, Rudd, Tench, Bream and small Carp being caught.
4. Bank clearing and general maintenance have been done to all sections of the river. Unfortunately, we have lost a small section of the river Stour towards Willington.
5. The charity Duck Race had to be cancelled again, although the live bands and entertainment went ahead for the Fish n Frolics 3-day festival. The winner after three days fishing was Colin parry.
6. The Peter Jackson trophy for club pensioners was fished during spring and summer at Aston Magna. Les Haines was this year’s trophy winner.
7. Shipston matches were again well supported by members although the weights were well down on previous years. Matches at Boddington (twice) and Meadowlands which are normally won with well over 100 pounds only produced 40lb to 60lb this year.
8. The match fished at Bourton on the Water provided several large Bream Colin Barrett won with 71 pounds and Malcolm Allinson was second with 65lb.
9. The Cotswold cup was run by Shipston this year and we decided to fish at Clanfield on the river River Thames again. Unfortunately, we didn't do as well as last year and finished second to Burford.
10. We entered a team in a Bait Tec knockout competition. We were drawn away to Team Maggot at Tunnel Barn. We drew with them on points but lost to them on weight.
11. The WACFAC match which is normally fished at the car park lake at Aston Magna was switched to a ADDAC waters at Clifford Chambers because of floating leaves at Aston. I myself won the match with 160lb of Carp and Barbel.
12. Shipston came second in the Stratford Winter League. Kenny Watts won the individual trophy.
13. Unfortunately, Stratford tackled dealer Dabber Jones died recently. On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank his family for the £300.00 pounds donated to the Shipston Junior Anglers.
14. I hope that 2022 will be a lot more settled, although I have my doubts. I would like to thank all members for their help and work during 2021. The committee would like to wish all its members a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Year.

Newbury Challenge-1
Held on the Newbury Canal
Saturday 03 July 2021
This was the first match between Newbury and Shipston angling club and it was away on the canal.
On a steaming hot day we were all praying for shade and thankfully most of us were under cover of the trees that lined the towpath. It was a great win for Shipston taking all three top 3 spots and the rest of the team backed up the weights for a convincing win. The return match later in the year on the river Stour will most likely be a more closer run match.
