Finally the weather remained good enough for members to complete the final match of their 2023 fixture list, a match that had been postponed several times due to inclement weather.  As usual there was a decent turn-out with eighteen anglers fishing, with twelve weighing in, a reasonable result as the bulk of the fish appear to have shoaled at the bottom end of the lake leaving a few stragglers behind at the top end.

Many congratulations to Les Smedley, who became LEVAS Champion at last, a very well deserved result.
