2025 Annual Dinner
The event will be held on Thursday 16th October 2025 at the Honourable Artillery Company, Armoury House, City Road, EC1Y 2BQ.
The event will be black tie with proceedings commencing at 18.00 with drinks in the Sutling Room. The ticket price is £120 (not including wine) and the format will be similar to prior years, an evening of entertainment, good food and great wine, and an opportunity to exchange stories of "The One that got away..". We are very pleased to confirm that the speaker for our dinner this year is Martin Salter:
- Martin is the former MP for Reading where, amongst his constituency and parliamentary duties, he was actively involved in many campaigns and initiatives involving conservation and the environment. Martin is currently Head of Policy at the Angling Trust and National Campaigns Coordinator. Martin enjoys all forms of fishing, and has fished all over the world catching species as diverse as marlin, bonefish, tarpon, peacock bass, dorado and tuna but he is particularly fond of trotting for specimen roach in English rivers. Martin's selected charity for this year is Aspire 2 - their mission is "to empower children and families to access non-formal learning and enrichment activities that will enable them to gain skills to improve their engagement with their local community and their future". The focus of the charity is on under-privileged children and particularly to introducing them to fishing. Martin writes:" I'm really proud of what we've achieved at Aspire 2 and with the Ufton Adventure programme at Ufton Court outside Reading. This is a ground breaking outdoor education centre which, thanks to an innovative funding model, offers free summer residential places to young people from the Whitley estate. I use my love of angling and extensive network of contacts to deliver a kids fishing programme as part of the Ufton Adventure experience on a local pond that we have developed as a young persons' coaching pond". You can find out more about our work here.
Wine is not included in the ticket price - please order your requirements for wine for the evening at the time of booking your ticket(s) which will be debited along with ticket purchases. The selection will be visible on the booking form after you have confirmed your ticket purchase. You will be able to add to your order but not remove previously ordered wines.

- Avon, Old Sarum - following another year of low usage (only 3 days out of 26) we have dropped the fishery.
- Itchen Abbas - regretfully with the advent of 'wild fishing' only ie no stocking at all, fishing only 2 days a week and at a maintained price so we have had to give up this popular venue.
- Itchen, Fulling Mill - impending sale.
- Test, Chilbolton - change of ownership and usage.
- Kennet, Benham Park. New The Park is a delightful mix of fishing with the larger main river, criss-crossed by a variety of carriers and side streams which all add up to something in the region of five miles of water. The fishing is mostly from the bank, though on occasion you may be able to wade some of the small stream sections. There is an excellent head of wild fish supplemented with regular stocking.
- Test, Chilbolton Fishing. New This is a delightful, family owned, Upper Test fishery is a private, secluded 280 metres of the main river situated adjacent to Chilbolton Cow Common. The beat has two islands, a comfortable rustic fishing hut and numerous seats and jetties. Chilbolton Fishing is not run as a commercial enterprise, the ethos is to enjoy your day on the River Test, relaxing in a beautiful natural setting.
- Test, Fullerton. New Fullerton Fishing is a private, secluded, single rod Upper Test stretch of the main river situated across a field adjacent to the Fullerton Road between the Mayfly and Wherwell. A prime fishery for experienced fly fishers seeking a classic chalk stream experience. You will enjoy the combination of picturesque scenery along the riverbank, diverse water features like deep pools, glides, and weed beds, which can be challenging due to the need for precise casting and healthy trout population with the potential for large fish.
