Work Parties - Cisterns

Over the last week or so, work parties have been carried out on Junior Cisterns. Several fish refuges have been placed at certain areas around the lake. 
They are located in the margin areas and are easily identifiably by the reeds that have been attached to them.

Thanks to all the lads who assisted in the work parties.

More photos can be seen in the gallery.

A good time was had by all, but no carp made an appearance. First the lads were battered by the storm that weekend and then hit with snow and sub zero temperatures.
