I cannot speak for anybody in authority within the club (committee etc) but I will say that I myself am
that you feel this way. While it is certainly true that disabled facilities are certainly lacking - not just at CAPS waters but in all club and day ticket waters in general, I will say that the facilities and swims that ARE given to disabled anglers appear (to me - a healthy, able-bodied individual admittedly) to be sufficient. I speak mainly about the disabled swims at both Olivers and Bovington 1. Certainly the swim at Bovington 1 is extremely flat and and accessible for wheelchairs. There are possibly additional options that could be considered at other waters for disabled anglers as well (car park swim at Bov 2?).
As for your comments regarding the 4 workparties needed to be able to fish Layer, I'm not so sure what could be done about this. This scheme was bought in just a couple of years ago as an incentive to increase the work party attendance. The Layer upgrade otherwise works - like so many other places - on a waiting list system. You could obviously put your name down on the list. This is not meant to sound discriminatory in any way but the hard facts are that the club relies solely in part on the attandance of members to maintain its waters. There are times when certain incentives are necessary to ensure those attendances.
It would be sad if you took the decision not to renew your membership simply because you couldn't fish Layer. Before you do decide, you might wish to liaise personally with a committee member to see if anything could be done to help. I'm not so sure that Layer is exactly 'wheelchair friendly' anyway. Again, this is not what I nor you should consider discriminatory, but simply the geography of how Layer is situated. It mostly has narrow undulating pathways around it and a fairly steep gradient to negotiate (certainly in a wheelchair) before you actually reach the water. In the meantime, both Olivers and Bovington 1 have a lot to offer in the way of pretty much any species of freshwater fish you chose to target. Unless it's carp of over 35lb of course.
