Bog Grove – still a favourite venue in the depths of winter as it will even produce fish on days like this.

The 25^th Sep is going to be a busy day for our Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation.  As well as the Maldon Marathon there is the Triathlon which will be starting at Hoe Mill.  This involves canoeing and cycling which will disrupt the river from Hoe Mill to Paper Mill including Beeleigh Lock.  The Driberg cup match at Boreham will also be affected.

We have taken a match booking for this Sunday 18th September on the River Chelmer.  The stretches at Boreham Black Bridge, Papermills and Browns Wharf will be closed to non-competitors.  Thanks - Russell.

The Chelmer Canal Trust Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday 20^th September at 7:15 pm at Moulsham Mill, Parkway, Chelmsford CM2 7PX.  After the AGM business, at approximately 8pm, there will be a public talk entitled “Essex Living Landscapes and Barn Owls”.  Other forthcoming events are listed at http://www.chelmercanaltrust.co.uk/events.htm.  Yours Sincerely - William Marriage.

Members are reminded that the Maldon Half Marathon is being run on Sunday 25th Sep and this might disrupt the flow of traffic near some of our fisheries such as the Railway Pond, Howells and Little Park.  Any member looking to drive through Maldon or Heybridge could get delayed.  For more info and a map of the route please see http://www.maldonhalfmarathon.com/.  Members heading back towards Maldon after the Howells carp match might need to find an alternative route.   Thank you to Dennis Sherwood for drawing this event to my attention.
