Happy 100 !!
Yet another
milestone has been reached - 100
editions of the VAC web site. I started the site back in March 2000 as simply an
electronic version of the familiar posted newsletters. Over the years we have
had numerous 'tweaks' and two complete makeovers to get where we are today.
Over this time the importance and
value of our presence on the World Wide Web has increased significantly and many
new members are choosing to join us simply based on the detail and positive
impression provided by the VAC online.
Like all things in life, it's not
always been plain sailing and we have moved hosting providers twice and are now
on our third incarnation of our very popular 'members-only' forum. We have been
fortunate to be sponsored through the years by our friends at Queensway Angling
in Hemel Hempstead and, whilst it's a struggle at times, I have always
managed to get some timely contributions from you, our members, to illustrate
the quality and value of VAC waters.
Onward and upward as they say and
work will continue behind the scenes on a number of IT related initiatives for
the club. I am also pleased to announce that pals Matt Young (cover star from
last month) and Dom Rickard have volunteered to provide content for the somewhat
stagnant Junior Section.
So, as ever, please please send me
your photos, stories or whatever and, if any juniors would like to contribute to
the junior section please feel free to email me on the link below and I will
forward it on.
Webmaster
Finally a reminder that you can view
all the back issues of the VAC site simply by clicking the

also a big thank you for the positive feedback received over the years. Here's
to the next 100 !! - Stan
Kiddle - VAC IT Manager and Webmaster
Get Ready for the Kick Off
| Nothing to
do with football. Instead a reminder that the VAC Championship
matches start with the first of the series on June 15th at Riverside
Road. Also, the first of four Junior, Ladies & Seniors matches is the
day before, June 14, at Frogmore which is also the venue on the evening
of June 19th for the first of our ever popular evening series. For more
detail see the Match pages and also

KEEPNET SENSE
The VAC allows keepnets on many of
its fisheries and, like many commercial fisheries, no longer uses chemical dips.
To ensure that your nets do not
transport disease and viruses please ensure that nets and stinkbags are dried
out after use. Simple exposure to sunlight and drying is proven to be the best
way of keeping nets bug free. |

VAC
Forum
Our new forum is going
from strength to strength.
Whilst many are
happy just to read the catch reports we also have a hardcore of members
who mix humour and friendly banter with some good ideas and sensible
comments. As with all such things, the value of the VAC forum is
enhanced by the numbers of regular users so this is your invite to join
in.
The forum, which is
closely monitored by our band of moderators, is strictly for VAC members
only and is a great way to keep up with the latest news and to make your
opinions known.
However, certain rules are
in place to ensure 'fair play' - please read and abide by these to
ensure your visit to the forum isn't your last. It is vitally important
that only bona-fide members can post on the forum, any inappropriate
postings, as defined in the T&Cs, will be dealt with in the proper
manner.

Your Contribution
Dan's the man down at t'Mill. Pellet
Waggler accounted for this surprise 11lb grass carp.
Still at Moor Mill and bailiff Keith
Speer timed his moment to bag nine carp on the pole for over 110lb. This was the
biggest at 16-05.
New Junior page 'editor' Dom Rickard
is a regular at Frogmore and had this plump crucian carp out of Tony's Lake.
.
Surface fishing tempted this 11lb+
common for Matt Young - the fourth time he's caught it this year from Frogmore.
It's distinctive as a patch of scales are missing where it's been mishandled
over rough ground. Please always use an unhooking mat and keep fish over it when
taking photos.
