New rules regarding press access to family law courts came into force on 27th April 2009 following a series of government consultations.
Accredited journalists will in future be entitled to attend some hearings, like direction and adjudication hearings but will not have access to conciliation or negotiation hearings.
The new rules are designed to increase the public's awareness of how the justice system works and to attempt to restore the public's faith in the system.
Restrictions on what the press can report will remain, such as the specifics of a case that would be regarded as contempt of court, issues relating to children, and the safety of individuals. The court may also decide to sit in private where it is likely that a witness will give less than full and frank evidence (or refuse to give evidence at all) in the event that the press are present.
For further information and advice on this issue, and other family law issues, please contact us for a free initial consultation on 01992 306 616 or 0207 956 2740 or email us.
With the Spring over on Burghfield things had started to fall into place around May time.
I had around eight weeks to achieve the almost impossible as the kids summer holidays were fast approaching! I was going to owe the family my dedication to them because as the kids are getting older, I don't want to be the person that spent their childhood chasing a stinky old carp and not enjoying them growing up.
So, I was on borrowed time. I started applying a lot of bait and Hybrid boilies were my main food source due to its track record on Burghfield.
Now the crayfish in Burghfield are a bloody nightmare and I learnt a lot last season on how to keep the little buggers at bay by putting 10kg of boilies crumbed-up and mixing this with chopped Power+ Particles Tigers, sweetcorn and Activated Nut Mix Groundbait with a good helping of Hybrid Stick Mix Liquid.

With so many angler looked ahead, looking for the next new thing and perhaps the next carp catching edge, it’s easy to forget that this desire to present carp with something different is one which goes back many years.
So very often it’s also a good idea to look back, as well as forward. Many of the tips and tactics from yesteryear can provide a modern-day edge, simply because they have not been employed for so long.

This has to be one of the best lakes in the Country. I recommend anyone who's really into their carp fishing to come and have a session on here!
