After talking with the EA and other clubs and association we went out and brought a brand new dissolved oxygen and temperature metre this has allowed us to come up with a new set of guild lines for the warmer weather and to be able to test our own waters as and when required.

These new guide line will come into effect on Friday the 18th of July and has enabled up to reopen the tidal trent.
