Projects
Each of the following projects is being delivered by member volunteers and where necessary external contractors. The projects are prioritised by the committee primarily based upon need and deliverability.
An initial budget is developed for each project following which funds are developed and set aside over a three year rolling period.

Three Year Rolling Programme
General maintenance at Reydon is undertaken throughout the year by the volunteer Thursday work parties in conjunction with a hedge and grass cutting contract and Saturday work parties during the closed season. General maintenance at Kessingland is carried out throughout the year by a small group of dedicated local volunteers.
Sherwood Water Pit 1
A yearly appraisal and programme of platform repair occures at Sherwood Water Pit 1. Following this years appraisal it is clear that the sandy bank beneath several of the platforms is washing away to such an extent that the ends of a number of support piles are now sitting on top of the lake bed as apposed to being sunken into the bed.
Denny Lake Pit 2
A section of the south bank adjacent the public footpath showed signs of iminent collapse. This lead to appraisal of the whole bank which resulted in a significant priority project to remove the overburden weight on the bank from overgrown gorse hedging and place full length planting along the base of the bank to help stabilise it.
Equipment
The growing adverse affects of climate change have impacted the water quality at most waters in the UK which, in several cases, has resulted in large scale fish losses. To help combat this the society's commitee proposed and approved the purchase of the equipment necessary to monitor and treat the society's waters.
