The Society opened its gates to the general public on Bank Holiday Monday, 29th August 2005 to raise awareness of the angling facilities the club has to offer anglers.  The event took place on the club lake and the day was an immediate success from the very start.  As part of the open day the Society organised an open match.  WIth the far point closed off for other activities (pegs 20 to 26), all but a few pegs around the lake were filled with anglers ranging from 6 to 66 of age. Other activities included tuition on various methods of fishing which proved to be very popular by visitors. Every child who received tuition form one of the 5 instructors took home a goody bag packed with fishing items, plus a certificate of merit.  The Society also has other fishing related games and competitions all adding to the fun.  The organisers held a used tackle stall that sold virtually every angling item you can imaging and generated great interest.  Other features included a display detailing the clubs history, articles on how to fish and information on joining the Society. Food was on hand in the form of a Pig Roast sponsored by the Bull Public House and offered anglers a chance to talk about their sport in the beautiful surrounding of the lake.  The event concluded with a presentation to the open match winners and a raffle with prizes donated and signed by 4 times world championship winner Bobb Nudd.
