Membership
Full Membership
Christchurch Angling Club membership is open to everyone and runs from the date you join for 365 days. This gives a full 12 months of membership, whatever time of year you join. All memberships include salmon and sea trout fishing on the many venues where we have migratory fish angling rights (on the Hampshire Avon, Dorset Stour and Frome). Alternatively, migratory fish membership is a standalone option for those wishing to fish for salmon and sea trout only.
Any full member can add x2 under 14s to their membership free of charge, enabling unlimited access to minors when fishing with a parent or guardian.
We use the Clubmate app to manage all our memberships, so we do not issue membership cards any more. We recommend that you add the Clubmate app to your phone so that you can manage your membership details, easily renew membership or purchase additional tickets and quickly prove your membership to any of our bailiffs. The Clubmate app can be downloaded here, Android or Apple.
You can join immediately online here, via local tackle shops (details here) or by calling 01202 480009 (The phone line is operated part-time, so please leave a message if you don’t get an answer)
Holiday Membership
In addition to full membership, we offer 7 and 14 day memberships aimed at those who travel from afar to fish our waters or are limited to a short window of opportunity throughout the year.
Existing Members
Existing members can add numerous sundries to their membership. They can also invite guests to fish selected waters, pay for individual night fishing permits, or buy tickets to take trout from our Whitesheet complex.
Dogs are currently allowed on the following venues:
Hucklesbrook
Holtwood
Ibsley ponds
Spinnaker lake
Wedgehill
No dogs on any river sections.
Payment Options
Although membership of the club represents fantastic value, we are aware that for many the fees can be a hefty amount from a single wage packet. As a result, we have a range of payment options which will hopefully make it affordable for all. This includes a monthly payment option, allowing members to spread the cost of a year’s membership interest free over 12 months. This makes the monthly cost roughly the equivalent of a day ticket!
