JOINING & RENEWING
Fakenham Angling Club memberships are managed through Clubmate, our online membership system.
Members can access their membership digitally using either the Clubmate mobile app or through an internet browser on a computer, tablet or mobile device.
New members can join online, while existing members can use Clubmate to manage and renew their membership.
A suitable passport-style profile photograph is required for membership. This allows our bailiff team to verify memberships while carrying out checks on club waters.
The club's membership year begins on 1 April, with a renewal window available for one month either side of this date.
Clubmate will contact members with the necessary renewal information when their membership becomes due, including details of how to complete their renewal.
Members should ensure that the contact details registered to their Clubmate account are kept up to date so that important membership and renewal communications can be received.

YOUR MEMBERSHIP
When fishing Fakenham Angling Club waters, members must hold a current and valid membership.
Our bailiff team carries out membership checks on the bank using Clubmate, so members should ensure that their membership details and profile photograph remain accurate and up to date.
Members may be asked to confirm their details when approached by a club bailiff carrying out a membership check.
Environment Agency Rod Fishing Licence
In addition to a valid Fakenham Angling Club membership or day ticket, anglers must hold a valid Environment Agency rod fishing licence where required by law.
Holding an FAC membership or purchasing a day ticket does not replace the requirement for an appropriate rod fishing licence.
In accordance with the club rules, FAC bailiffs may ask anglers to provide proof of a valid rod fishing licence while fishing club waters.
Anglers are responsible for ensuring they hold the correct licence before fishing.
CLUB RULES
All members and day-ticket anglers must familiarise themselves with and follow the current Fakenham Angling Club Rules when fishing club waters.
Please also pay attention to notices and signage displayed at individual waters, as these may contain important water-specific or temporary information.
Breaches of club rules may be dealt with in accordance with the club's current procedures.
NOT A MEMBER?
You don't have to be a member to enjoy fishing Fakenham Angling Club waters.
Day-ticket fishing is available across all of our waters, including Willsmore Lake, Foxley Lakes and our stretch of the River Wensum.
Day-ticket anglers must obtain the appropriate ticket before fishing, hold the appropriate Environment Agency rod fishing licence, and follow all current club and water-specific rules.
Please be aware that the type of fishing permitted may vary between waters and at different times of the year, particularly on the River Wensum. Anglers should check the relevant water information and current club rules before fishing.
