The annual Christmas Fayre attracted 27 anglers on a pleasant winter solstice day.

Plenty of small roach fed despite the winter conditions where the air temperature peaked at just 4 degrees centigrade.

Low water and air temperatures signalled harsh winter conditions which were mirrored in the fishing for most of the 17 club match anglers.

Top weights for the match held on the Ivel at Biggleswade Common owed much to the draw as they came from noted chub pegs.
