This will help us to ensure our signs are up and can keep non-match anglers from setting up.
All match fees must be collected by the club and put into the tin before the match starts.

A bit about Home Farm Lake
We have great pleasure in welcoming you to Home Farm Lake.
Set in a quiet corner of Warwickshire, our farm is home to our children, dogs, sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens and of course, the fish.
The Lake was created in 2004 in a field that was always wet, and originally stocked with silver fish, tench, chubb, roach etc. and over the years has matured and developed into a charming and peaceful location, now teaming with and excellent assortment of carp (common, crucian and mirror) as well as an annual spawn of all species. We have some fine specimens including F1 hybrids and goldfish.
Due to recent visitors without appropriate equipment, we will no longer allow anyone onsite who does not have the correct kit. If you don’t have a landing net, you cannot fish, you must use barbless hooks and no steel braids on your setup.
If it came with you, it leaves with you – there are no exceptions
PLEASE make sure you leave your peg as you found it – NO RUBBISH of any sort – including sandwiches, teabags, banana skins, apple cores and cigarette/cigar ends. If you brought it with you, please take it away with you. Any unused bait can go into the water, but please break up bread rather than throw in whole slices. We check every peg meticulously every day once everyone has left, so it is very obvious if anyone leaves anything behind – we will keep it for your next visit…

We DO NOT carry out any marketing activities, no details held by Home Farm Lake are passed on to any other party, with the exception of non-payment, when the vehicle details may be shared with the police and/or other local fisheries to warn of potential issues from the same vehicle owner.
Andrew Griffiths has been designated as our Data Protection Officer, and has the responsibility to ensure all personal data that has been collected is managed/processed in accordance to UK-GDPR.
CCTV images are stored for 72 hours in normal operation. In the event of non-payment the image capture of the vehicle in question will be stored until such time the case is closed.
For contact details, we now have a form for the club or individual to sign and agree to their details being kept on our database purely for confirmation purposes.
Please – No visitors and no spectators. This is not just for COVID but also for insurance.
If you are viewing, please try to do so when there are no anglers on site, or if this is not possible then please maintain a safe distance from others.
We reserve the right to check hooks etc. and licenses to ensure everyone has the right equipment and licenses to fish with us.
We have 24 hour CCTV onsite, which does track vehicles in and out, and one camera that does cover the tin – so we can tell if you ‘forgot’ to pay.
