the Scheme’s ideals:
Club’s mainly silver fish Earsham Lay-By Pit gained £1000
from the Environment Agency to Otter Fence round and with
support from the Local South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon, became
a welcome platform to launch our Club water into the Premier
status anglers seek. Partial disabled can drive to within three
steps to fish through the double gate. Car Parking is good for
everyone and the banks are sympathetically graded on strong
platforms and the water well stocked in 2011. Here is quiet peg
25 near the gate. Safe fishing for Juniors in the private
enclosed environment behind locked gates.
The entries in RED are all wheel-chair capable and can be driven
right up to. But please bear in mind the Scheme is designed with
the Ambulant Angler principally in mind. For example at the
Earsham Lay-by Pit some could take a wheelchair but are not
designed for such although some swims are just two paces and
others five from car access. In Blue they are wheelchair designed
but at Falcon Meadow have a level path with a 60 – 100 yard run
in the wheelchair journey involved from the Car Parking.
Situated at locations in Norfolk and Suffolk near to their
adjoining borders of the Waveney Valley, this Lottery
Funded Project updates the facility first established in
2000. Developed with range of grants from 2003 it
includes places by the River (pictured here the Falcon
Meadow at Bungay), and on Still Waters. Club’s Fisheries
feature largely in this plus two co-operative Commercials
making special arrangements to entertain suitably.
We contrive an endeavour to a “Help for Heroes”
aspiration for the brave, who proudly manage to get
about without a wheelchair, but also need some
consideration in access ability for their bank-side
angling. This also affects a wide number of Senior
Citizens with debilitating heart conditions, and not quite as
able as they could be. The Bungay Cherry Tree AC
obtained a Big Lottery Awards for All Grant of £9613 in
2011 to improve their Lay-By Pit and produce this Leaflet.
Co-ordinated by Secretary Dave Gladwell, (73, with a
Disabled Carer’s Cert. a former Sport England/NFA
Angling Coach), he has endeavoured to cater to the best
of the Club’s ability.
The facilities listed include the provision in the final column for an
Assistant/Carer capability and strength to sit with the Angler.
