Steve Thanks for the help mate, is this the only way of getting one as the guy at Long Bennington bait farm told us that there is another tackle shop in Granthan that might sell them? Have you fished the river at Foston/Bennington this year? Cheers Gaz

Dear Gareth, GAA membership can only be got via Simon Sheilds at the address already given. The Gun Shop in Grantham doesn't sell the books to my knowledge nor does anyone else now. A Grantham book doesn't entitle membership to Denton Res another GAA venue and you have to apply for that via Simon as well. GAA Trout Section is also seperate and has a waiting list. Regards, Lee.

 Gaz As Lee says, the GAA membership book is no longer available in any of the shops now that Arbon & Watts has closed down. I've not fished the GAA stretch of the river at Bennington/Foston this season, due to it being so low and clear. Been waiting for the rain to put some colour in the water and now with the recent rainfall it should be ideal, so hopefully I should be down there next week, trotting breadflake for some of those big roach and chub! I did fish the stretch controlled by Newark Fed earlier in the season after the heavy rain we had in June and July and caught some nice chub and one of those elusive Upper Witham barbel! It's usually a river I concentrate on during the Winter.

Cheers Steve Been waiting for the rain myself but didnt realise Arbon and Watts had shutdown so wont be able to go this weekend. In anyway sent for a book today so should sorted shortly and it will have to be the Trent this weekend, thanks for your help on this. Gaz

ok, lets see about digging up another old thread!
Does anyone know if the info above is still right and what dates do the books run from? Do they start january or run along the season(start in june)
Im totally captivated by the upper witham chub at the minute and really want to fish further upstream.
Thanks for any help.

Paul The GAA books run from June, but as far as I'm aware, are no longer available on the above contact number. I did'nt renew my membership this year so I'm not sure where you obtain the books for this season, but hopefully someone out there may know.

Yeh,thanks for that nige i see that stretch had changed hands when i was looking around on the net.Was hoping to find the info for the Foston part but as the barbel are growing on now wouldnt suprise me if it ends up as closed shop like all good stretches seem to!
