..::THE FISH MUST BE WEIGHED ON EITHER::..

»The official club scales
»A scales in a bona fide shop and a certificate obtained from the shopkeeper verifying the weight as being correct, or
»On a Spring Balance. A certificate of accuracy of the balance must be obtained from the Weights and Measures Inspector, Stephenson Road, Newport.

Alternatively the Association now has facilities to check the accuracy of the scales free of charge. Scales can therefore be handed to an officer or a committee member for checking.

In all cases the capture must be witnessed by two adults and all claims must be made in writing together with the relevant certificates either to the Honorary Secretary or the Match Secretary.
