Once a month, we invite a guest speaker or one of our more experienced members to deliver a presentation on fly-tying, fly-fishing or related matters. You can see a list of previous years’ speakers on our Previous Talks page.

We have moved to a new venue for the 2023/24 season, with good WiFi so that members who aren’t able to travel to the venue can join the meeting via Zoom. The new address is:

The Lodge at Weston Fishery, Weston Lake, Albury GU5 9AF

YOU WILL NEED A CODE TO ENTER THE FISHERY. Members will be sent the code via email and WhatsApp in advance of each meeting.

Doors will open at 7:30 pm for an 8.00 pm start. There’s no entrance fee, but we usually hold a raffle (£1 ticket) and honesty bar. 

Non-members are welcome to attend two meetings as guests, free of charge, with no obligation to join the Branch. However, please do contact the Chairman or the Secretary in advance, so they can provide you with the necessary details.

2023/24 season

11th September – Peter Cockwill

Our first monthly meeting will take place on Monday 11 September and Peter Cockwill will be our guest speaker. Peter will be talking about his life in fishing, which given the breadth and depth of his experience, promises to be a great, informative evening. 

To guard against technology failures, Peter is bringing his own laptop this time and we will use our best endeavours to livestream the meeting via a Zoom link for anyone not able to attend in person.  

9th October – Lee Hooper

In October, we’ll welcome back Lee Hooper, from the Wiltshire Chalk Streams Branch. Lee will tie some spiders and patterns we’ve not seen before.
