Welcome to the Civil Service Angling  

  Society Home Page.

Thank you for visiting the Civil Service Angling Society web site. The following pages will give you some insight to what the Society is about, available fisheries, membership costs, how to join and contact numbers should you have any queries. 

The CSAS owns or rents a variety of fisheries around London and the Home Counties. These fisheries cater for all types of angling whether specimen hunting, match angling, pleasure fishing or fly fishing and all are regularly maintained to provide easy access and relatively snag free swims. Details of the fisheries can be obtained by clicking on Fisheries.

Full membership is open to Civil Servants, whether serving or retired on pension, i.e. anyone who is an employee in a government department or agency, Royal Mail, BT, and other public bodies such as museums, research councils and Environment Agency, companies carrying out ex-civil service work and any other bodies affiliated to CSSC Sports and Leisure. There are a limited number of places for associate membership for those who are not eligible for full membership (at times there may be a waiting list). Full and associate members may also obtain membership for their spouse, whether or not he or she is eligible for full membership. Junior Facility Tickets are available for dependant children (between 11 and 18 years of age, providing they are in full time education) of full and associate members. The sponsoring member must accompany such children on all visits to Society waters. Further membership joining details can be obtained by clicking on Joining.

Currently there is a waiting list for Associate Members, please contact the Membership Secretary (see contacts) for details and if you want to include your name on the list.

The Society organises an extensive programme of competitions throughout the season, open to both full and associate members. The matches are fished in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and no matter how little experience you have as an angler, you can be sure of a warm welcome and plenty of hints on how to improve your fishing technique. Just turn up on the day at the time indicated in the fixture list on your membership card. You may obtain a list of the matches planned for the coming season by clicking on Events Diary. The Society issues a Bulletin which contains all the latest news about the Society, fishery reports and match results. This is issued free to members in the Autumn and Spring.

The Society organises the Civil Service National Angling Championship Match which is normally held in September. It is noted for its long prize list.

Finally, the Society holds one open meeting every two months at the CSSC Recreational Headquarters in Chadwick Street, London, SW1 for the exchange of news and information, discussions, film or video shows and guest speakers. Facilities at Chadwick Street are excellent with restaurant, bar, meeting halls and rooms and are well worth a visit.
