The Committee is delighted to confirm that Plough Angling Club has secured the fishing rights at Newbridge Farm for the 2026/27 season.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Nick Ponting for his crucial, calm and professional discussions with the Landowner, which helped achieve this positive outcome for the Club and its members.

Working closely with the Landowner, we have also reviewed the rules governing access and fishing at Newbridge. It is essential that all members familiarise themselves with these rules and help us maintain the excellent relationship that has enabled us to retain this fantastic stretch of the River Thames.

The Rules at Newbridge are as follows:

1. The Club rents the Fishing Rights from the Landowner for the three fields upstream from the bridge on the left-hand bank only. The Club remains under ongoing scrutiny and Club Members should be aware that the Fishing Rights can be removed at any time.
2. Members are expected to be respectful to the Landowner; Farmer and those working on the farm.
3. No access through Newbridge Farm for Club’s vehicles and parking on farm property is not allowed.
4. Car parks are available either opposite The Maybush pub (What3Words: schematic.appendix.stubbed), or behind the Rose Revived pub (What3Words: spreading.gems.final).
5. Day tickets are available for sale on the bank. These can only be issued to those holding a valid EA Rod License. Abbreviated Rules are printed on the Day Ticket.
6. The Club can rent out this Club Water to other angling clubs on an agreed limited basis. Bookings are shown on our website. An Officer of the Plough AC will be present at the start and finish times of the booking to provide guidance to the visiting club and report any issues. The visiting Club is expected to follow our Club rules.
7. All gates on the Thames Path to be closed.
8. All bankside litter to be removed from your vicinity and taken home with you.
9. Do not climb over the fences or gates.
10. Any Member who is seen to be disregarding these rules may be asked to leave the Club.
