Welcome to Southdown Angling Association's website.
We are the result of a merger between the Compleat Angler Fishing Club and Hailsham Angling Association in 1997, when we formed the Southdown Angling Association.
Please have a good look around the site, the buttons at the left should take you where you want to go. The site is full of information about our waters, matches, rules and regulations, and more is being added.
Follow this link for all Membership details, we welcome new members, especially the young and have reduced fees for under 18's and only a purely nominal fee for under 14's. There are details here of our agents where you may also join, and an application form for postal use.
The Association Yearbook has several sections. Look here for details of Water Maintenance days, and how you can help; Competition details, HMFC Flying dates, Water Closures and Meetings are also here.
The Waters pages give details of all of the Association waters, and include maps and directions. All Association waters with the exception of the stillwaters are subject to the annual close season from 14th March to 15th June.
Please don't forget that you'll need a rod licence. You can obtain one at a Post Office or online. Click on this link to go to the appropriate page of the Environment Agency website where you can obtain your licence online from the comfort of your computer chair (It is comfortable I hope!).
Each Members gets a Yearbook as proof of their Membership. It has a great deal of information and we reproduce most of it here. Please note that any frequently changeable information is now on a separate Year Book card which carries your membership number (and key numbers for locked waters).
The News pages give reports of local fishing stories as well as competition results. Many stories are accompanied by photographs - why not submit yours? Here is the Spring 2011 Newsletter.
The Links page gathers together some useful Angling website links that you may like to follow. Don't forget to come back!
The Contact us page lists Association Official's contact details for all of the questions that we don't answer here, and how to submit articles for the newsletter and the website.
