The pairs match that was scheduled to be held on Carr Mill
Monday 25th May has now been rescheduled to be held on Sunday 28th June.

17/05/2026

We have received a number of complaints from the staff and management of The Dam bar & grille that anglers are requesting the key to the gate for the field known as Gallagher’s field to allow them to drop off their tackle. The management have asked us to remind anglers that they are not allowed to park any vehicle within the field as it does not belong to St Helens AA and access is only granted by the generosity of the boat club.
Certain members are taking advantage of this access and not removing their vehicles and locking the gate afterwards and returning the key.
If this continues Terri Anne will have no choice but to lock the gate and remove our access to the pegs in this area.
Also should any vehicle become stuck it will not be recovered by the club or the boat club and will be the responsibility of the angles who own the vehicle.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
