Lodge Pond

Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th January 2026
Between 8:30am - 11:30am

This coming weekend there will be Cani X racing at Alice Holt Forest, which will involve dogs and their owners running around the forest at Alice Holt.

We have just been advised that there will be around 50 participants both mornings taking part in a running event with their dogs. They will be starting, and running along the Family Cycle Trail, which is the route used by members driving toward the car park at Lodge Pond.

As such, you will need to be even more carful than normal when accessing and egressing the car park and cars will need to drive very slowly, and when you see dogs or runners, stop until both dogs and runners have passed, before recommencing your journey.

So please ensure you are extremely careful when visiting the pond this coming weekend.

Maintenance work - Sindlesham Mill - Closed by the Environment Agency with immediate effect

Temporary repairs are essential and are due to be arranged by the Environment Agency as they have deemed the bridge unsafe.

The fishery will remain closed until the EA has completed their works, which we anticipate will be completed within the 6-weeks.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our members and will advise once the fishery is re-opened in due course.
