LBAC is an open club. You may buy club membership wherever you live. Membership is available through ClubMate and the 2025/26 season will be the first season members will be able to utilise a digital membership. Club membership is from June 1st - May 31st each year. New members buying a membership during April or May are able to fish from the date of purchase of the membership until May 31st of the following year.
It’s a really simple process to utilise ClubMate. Follow the link below to sign up for ClubMate, then download the app and purchase the relevant memberships.

You will need a good quality photo of yourself, suitably cropped, saved on your phone (you can use your camera on your phone if you prefer), as the Club/ClubMate requires a picture to validate your membership. This will be utilised to identify yourself so please make sure it is up to date. You only get one chance to upload the image so please ensure you get it right. Follow the instructions via the link and purchase the ticket that you require. Tiddenfoot night passes are not for general sale to members who do not hold a night ticket from last season. Keep an eye on here and our social media pages for announcements as to when the night passes are released to general members.
Please ensure that once you have purchased your ticket you remember to have your phone on you at all times when fishing LBAC waters. This will now be your club book and evidence that you are a member.
If you already use ClubMate for another club or water, it is recommended that you use the same email address so that both memberships are in the app and you can simply switch between the two.
Please note that LBAC DO NOT sell day tickets for any of the waters. You must be able to present a current and valid membership book to fish on any of our waters.
An excerpt from the clubs membership book can be found below, which details the general club rules. The full rules can only be found in your membership book as well as venue specific rules.
