Important Announcement
GVAC has ceased to operate at Cattawade, R Stour with immediate effect. We regret this decision, but have had to make this difficult choice because the weed and standard of fishing in the waterway are not at a level that is in keeping with the Club’s standards.
GVAC now offers an online membership facility via Clubmate. This can be found on the Membership page: just click on the link
Please take a look at our Instagram and Facebook pages.
Day tickets and Membership Forms are available from the following: Birds tackle, Breakaway tackle, Gladwells Stowmarket; also, via the Membership tab and Clubmate.
GVAC are pleased to welcome you to this website. The year 2024 marks the club's 40th since it was founded in 1984.
This front page is brought to you as the Club reaches another milestone in its long distinguished history.
The Club's management remain committed to the heritage that has brought it success - the Club shall provide angling to anyone regardless of race, gender, age or ability; it seeks to develop the sport through provision of safe and affordable fishing experiences.
The management committee values are: Integrity, respect, honesty and openness with one another and its members, challenge, and teamwork; we believe that these values will take GVAC forward to greater things.
This channel is open and we welcome feedback. The Management Committee will not however, tolerate aggression, bullying or malicious activities which it considers are disreputable to the name of this great club.
The club operates a Constitution approved by the Angling Trust 'FishMark' (formerly ClubMark), a Child Protection Policy and an Equity Policy.
The Management Committee understands that the members require accessible, maintained venues with the standard of fishing expected of a strong club to go with the aforementioned values. We also recognise the socio-economic changes affecting the sport and the need for long-term planning, which involves future succession to enable it to thrive for another 40+years'.
We welcome every member and look forward to meeting you on the bank.
