Hi All,
99% of our members take their rubbish home with them when they leave our fisheries – unfortunately we still see wrappers and general waste lying around. This is a particular issue for Ongar where wrappers could be wind blown into the adjacent fields where the horses are.
Please ensure when you leave your swim you take all the rubbish with you – even if it’s not your own.
Another important point is cigarette ends – they could be a fire hazard even though they appear to be extinguished under foot.
Please take them home with you. With the dry conditions around our lakes many grasses, bushes, shrubs and trees could easily be ignited by just a spark.
Please take extra care when smoking.
Thank You
ODAS Committee
