This is on the www.gov.uk website and is part of the restrictions
"
To reduce social contact, the Government has ordered certain businesses and venues to close. These include:

  • all non-essential retail, including, but not limited to clothing and electronics stores, vehicle showrooms, travel agents, betting shops, auction houses, tailors, car washes, tobacco and vape shops.
  • indoor and outdoor leisure facilities such as bowling alleys, leisure centres and gyms, sports facilities including swimming pools, golf courses and driving ranges, dance studios, stables and riding centres, soft play facilities, climbing walls and climbing centres, archery and shooting ranges, water and theme parks,"
  • As I said, unless something has changed in respect of fishing, then it comes within this definition, does it not?.

That mentions nothing about banning activities, which is what you stated.
 
Look you, I've just had a sniff that Welsh Golf could resume on MONDAY!!!!!! Tidy there's lovely, isn't it!

With the previous travel bans, I haven't played my own home course (cos it was across county boundary) since 5th Sept! Mind you... 2 weeks of monsoon and who knows if it'll open!

Yes, I can see they are different words, but
are we into semantics here? The fishing lakes, ponds, etc I would have considered to be facilities for fishing,
unless they were clearly owned by no-one.
However, if places like rivers are not considered facilities, how would the environment agency think of them. ..?I would imagine they would consider them facilities provided by themselves and/or riparian owners. After all, they tel us that the licence fees are spent on maintaining and thus providing them?

Then, if you are right in your distinction, you can have someone fishing OK on a non club/non fishing business owned lake, but a club member cannot fish on a club run lake or fishing business lake?


And , again on the subject of definitions of facilities,do you suppose ,that whilst
Golf clubs are clearly facilities, if you were to go hitting golf balls in the local park or on the common, that you would not be breaking the rule?.

I see someone has said that fishing , as we know it?, has been cleared, since this latest announcement, by the Angling Trust. Where can that be verified.Id be grateful for a pointer

I hope Boris bans all the Welsh crossing the border.
I could not go into Wales ,so hope there’s no double standards.;)

What do you think Fishing comes under.?
All my mates say it’s a sport.
Personally I think outwitting a fish can’t be that hard;)

Oh, I wouldn't say that?. It's generally agreed that coarse fish are harder to fool and catch than game fish, especially carp. ( not looking to start a war!)
A real oddity is, a salmon can be caught and it doesn't feed at all when going up the river.
Many a carp fisherman has spent days trying to catch, and failed.

There's no need for "people who live in Wales " to enter England if courses in England are shut and courses in Wales are open ?

My nearest decent shops however are in Bristol!?

Only joking.
My mate is a really good angler (according to him).
Been on sky sports several times.
We always had a good laugh wether hitting a little ball into a hole or outwitting a fish took the most skill.
We used to have lulls in work on nights!
 
Wouldn't going fishing or to golf be an unnecessary journey? Whether you drive, cycle walk or hop there?
 
We're going in to a national lockdown until Dec 2nd because the regional Tier system isn't working. And the exit strategy for the national lockdown is to return to a regional Tier system. You know, the one that wasn't working meaning we needed a national lockdown. Anyone else spot a teensy tiny problem with this plan?

Not really, they've just been too slow at making decisions, again. Had they brought in a circuit break at the start of the second wave i think the tier system would then have worked. As it is we now need at least a month to get things back under control, then the tier system should be effective

It's a plan? Thanks for pointing that out, I'd missed it.

Was working in Liverpool after it went into Tier 3 restrictions. Cases are now almost half what they were at the peak.

If golf was open for those who worry about justifying travel .. the gov says this ..

Travel to venues that are open are fine

So nobody feel bad wherever you go that's legally open

Let's avoid the stupid arguements of last time that we shouldn't drive incase we crash ..
