Night Fishing Permits for
Barker’s & Brightwell’s, Ringstead
Due to the pressure on Brightwell’s and Barker’s it has been decided to limit the amount of night fishing to the the first 100 members who apply in writing or on-line to the secretary. The cost of a Night Fishing Permit is £60.00 and this is in addition to the annual club membership fee. There will be no concessions and permits will be issued strictly on a first come first served basis. Permit holders will be allowed to bring one non-fishing guest.
Permits will be in the form of an encapsulated card bearing the members name, his/her membership book number and the permit number between 1-100, a passport style photograph of the holder will also be visible.
Night fishing is defined as between one hour after dusk and one hour before dawn. It will be in the interest of those members who have paid the night fishing supplement to challenge any other night anglers present to show their permit. Permits will be valid from day of purchase until December 31st 2010.
Applications must be made by post accompanied with a passport type photograph, your club book membership number (if you have bought it separately) and a cheque for £60.00 made payable to WDNAC. Please apply to the secretary at 66 Redland Drive, Kingsthorpe, Northampton. NN2 8TU. Personal callers by prior appointment only, please allow 3 working days for your permit.
Permits may also be ordered on line please go to our shop page, you will have to e-mail your photograph (to: mail@wdnac.org.uk) and your address, current WDNAC membership number and have a Paypal account to effect payment.
Please do not apply for membership or permits online unless you are paying by Paypal.
WDNAC membership books may be purchased on line, please go to our shop page.
You will not need a Night Fishing Permit to night fish any of our other waters where night fishing is already allowed.

ABC Fishing Club held fishing activities on the 21st and 28th December 2008 at Mill Cotton, Ringstead, attended by 9 children, 4 of who were fishing for the first time.
It was very cold but the children braved the weather and managed to catch a few fish. 5 fish in total were caught over the two days for just over 5 hours fished. The biggest of these fish was a perch (photo below).
As usual Mark Eacock delivered a very good session supported by Sue, Jeremy (our young volunteer) and Gina.
The children have said that they learnt patience, enjoyed meeting new people and catching fish.
The following pictures were sent to us by Junior member Josh, caught at Ringstead complex last year. Notice that the fish were all in great condition.
Great stuff, Josh. If anyone else has photos taken on our club waters please E-mail: mail@ambprint.demon.co.uk
ABC Fishing Club 26th - 28th October 2008
ABC Fishing Club ran fishing activities 3 days to encourage more children to take up the sport.
11 children aged 8 - 13 years old to part in the activities.
On the first day they learnt about health and safety, taking care of the environment, fish welfare and dry fishing.
Then they spent two days fishing at Mill Cotton Lake, Ringstead. They had a competition, girls against boys and everyone took their fishing seriously.
They concentrated on their floats not wanting to miss a bite.
Sometimes you could hear the girls and boys asking, who has the most fish, whose fish was bigger and so on.
They were so interested in fishing that they didn't even want to take a lunch break.
A lot of patience was learnt during the activities and everyone caught fish.
The EA donated whips and rigs for everyone.
The picture of the girl, (Andry) with the shield won Best Fisherman. The boy (Isaac) with the trophies won most fish and biggest fish on competition day. The girl (Andry) with the biggest fish.
