Club Membership

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.

These run for 7/14 consecutive days with full fishing rights on all our waters. Night tickets are bookable in the same way as for annual members.

If you purchase a holiday membership and subsequently decide to upgrade your purchase to an annual membership within 4 weeks of the end date, then the price will be fully deducted from your annual fee.

7 day membership cost £70 for adults, £20 for children

14 day membership costs £90 for adults, £20 for children

Existing Members add-ons
Existing members can add numerous sundries to their membership. They can bring angling guests onto selected waters after paying for a guest ticket, pay for a night fishing ticket, or buy tickets to fish and take trout from our Whitesheet complex. Members can also add a season night permit, non angling guest or dog permit to their membership.

Night Tickets and Permits

We charge £20 per night to members wishing to fish an individual night at one of our specimen carp waters. Alternatively, members can purchase a Season Night Permit (SNP) that covers 12 months of night fishing and a 3rd rod permit (where applicable) for £160.

All anglers (whether holding an SNP or not) must pre-book their night fishing via our booking system. This ensures that there are always plenty of pegs available for night anglers, with numbers limited to roughly 50% of the swims available on each water.

Guest Tickets

Guest tickets are available for all our waters apart from Spinnaker Lake, Hucklesbrook Lake, Winkton and Tincleton.

These can be purchased online or at local tackle shops.

Coarse fishing guest tickets cost £12

Migratory fishing guest tickets cost £25

Trout Tickets

Our Whitesheet complex compromises of x3 stocked trout lakes where members purchase tickets dependent on the number of fish they wish to take.

Non Fishing Guest

If you would like a non fishing guest to join you on your fishing trips, members can add a non fishing guest to their membership for an addition £30 for the year.

Dog Permits

Members can purchase a dog permit to take their loyal friend to a selection of our waters with them.

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! Listed below are the methods we have made available:

Single Annual Payment

– Via direct debit (online here)

– Single payment in full at our selected tackle shops (Debit and credit cards may not be accepted at some outlets)

– Cheque in full via post to PO Box 9183, Christchurch, BH23 9JW

– Single payment in full via debit card or bank transfer over the phone 01202 480009 (The phone line is operated part-time, so please leave a message if you don’t get an answer)

Recurring Monthly Payments

– Via monthly direct debit (online here)

– Via monthly Standing Order (available to members of 3 years or more) this option is only available over the phone 01202 480009 (The phone line is operated part-time, so please leave a message if you don’t get an answer).

We hope that by offeringa range of payment methods, we have made membership of the club both affordable and justifiable for all anglers. If you have any questions, please contact us.
