This season SDAA is organising a series of ten night fishing events at Broom Lake to give members the opportunity to night fish this venue.  These will be held on five Wednesday nights and five Saturday nights during July, August and September.  Only ten tickets will be available for each event to be held on the following dates:

 Saturday 9th July                                Wednesday 13th July

Saturday 23rd July                              Wednesday 27th July

Saturday 6th August                            Wednesday 24th August

Wednesday 7th September                 Saturday 17th September

Saturday 24th September                   Wednesday 28th September

These events are limited to members who have obtained a ticket prior to the event, and are only available by a postal application to the Registrar.  You can click here to download an application form, or alternatively send a stamped SAE to: Broom Lake Night Ticket, The Registrar, SDAA Ltd, PO Box 59, Shefford SG17 5UZ

Tickets cost £10 per night and will be allocated strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.  If all the tickets have been sold for the dates requested, your cheque/postal order will be returned.  If you are allocated a ticket, it is not transferable and there will be no refund if you do not fish.  You cannot apply for another ticket until after the date of any previous ticket allocated to you.  Junior members cannot apply, but may share a swim with a ticket holder over the age of 18 who will be responsible for the Junior member (see below). 

Swims that have been designated for night fishing must be vacated by 5pm on the dates shown above.  A draw will be held at 6pm in the car park for ticket holders, the person drawing #1 chooses their swim number first, then #2 and so on, with the bailiff making a list of swim choices.  Anglers can then proceed to their swims and start fishing ASAP.  Any late comers will have to choose from pegs that are left.  Only swims designated for night fishing can be fished overnight. 

Only members with a valid Broom Lake Night Ticket are allowed on the lake during the times that define night fishing (i.e. no guests or visitors).  However, a ticket holder over the age of 18 will be allowed to take a Junior member (provided they both fish from the same swim) at no extra cost.  For safety reasons, there must be no driving around the lake during the hours designated as night fishing.  If the track around the lake is closed, vehicles must be left in car park. 

Notices will be posted at Broom Lake before the event to identify the swims that have been identified for night fishing and to remind members that these designated swims must be vacated by 5pm on the above dates.
