Yateley goes to Farnham AS

Just noticed this on the latest ATr newsletter. Many years of happy memories there under RMC/CEMEX.

Farnham Angling Society are proud to announce the purchase of 8 of the famous Yateley Complex lakes, ensuring that angling continues on arguably the most famous Carp fishing complex in the country.

Farnham Angling Society has acquired 8 lakes and a stretch of the River Blackwater. These will be split into: the Yateley South Complex: Comprising of Yateley South Lake, Pumphouse Lake, Horseshoe Lake & Tree Lake and the Yateley East Complex, containing the Summer Pit, Match Lake, Copse Lake, Nursery Lake and the River Blackwater.

Farnham AS are building a healthy portfolio, but I note they have not secured the Car Park or Pads lakes,

The acquisitions are a big step up (and forward) for FAS, they have secured a mortgage for the first time and have acquired some superb assets. The purchase has attracted the usual moaners and groaners but the majority can only see it as a positive action. What else might have happened to those venues? Fenn Wright approached FAS directly after previous bids on other CEMEX assets had been unsuccessful.

It certainly means I will be renewing my interest in Pumphouse, Horseshoe and a couple of the others and, more importantly (and selfishly) it may help to reduce the numbers on the clubs rivers even more!

Yes, used to love the relitive emptiness of the Horseshoe and Pumphouse Neil.
