Notes

1. Meet at Peterhead breakwater. Boundary - South Breakwater. Measure-and-release.

2. Aberdeen-Stonehaven. Meeting point Bay of Nigg carpark. Boundary from Aberdeen South Breakwater to Stonehaven harbour, excluding both piers.

3. Findon Cup. Meet in Findon village. Boundary - Blowup Nose to Portlethen salmon station.

4. Beach - meet at the carpark entrance to the sands. Boundary - Scotstown beach. Measure-and-release. Note seatrout cannot be included (it is illegal to fish for them), but accidental catches can be the subject of a club record claim if over 0.875kg.

5. Aberdeen Open. Members fishing the Open will fish for points and optionally enter the cash prize pools. This is a single rod event.

New and renewing members - annual fees have to be with the Club Treasurer at least 7 days before the first meeting you attend.

IMPORTANT - Once registered for an event all members must inform the organisers if they will not attend the weigh-in (e.g. leaving the meeting early, decide to fish-on etc), to prevent false alarms. Search-and-rescue procedures are triggered within minutes of weigh-in times and can be inconvenient or dangerous for fellow members, or costly when authorities become involved.
