KLAA Notice,

It has been agreed that ticket prices will remain the same price as last year, The KLAA committee feel that during the present climate it would be unfair to raise permits prices.  The club has seen an increase on leased waters, and have undertaken big projects in redeveloping some venues during the last 12 months. Fishing the klaa waters is still priced very reasonably with the amount of venue and water it controls for just  80p a week.

Shepherds Port will re-open on Saturday 3rd April, where permits for one day only can be purchased on the bank from Club Secretary Ash Brown and Club Treasurer Mark Harding.
