Hi all, looking for a syndicate to join in Cambridgeshire, ones that have places or a short waiting list. Happy to Pay up to £500-£600 a year. Places with carp up to 30lb would be nice. Thanks in advance

I haven't fished it since about 1998-2000 so I guess I might be way off, but would Woolpack fit the bill?

Wow. How much are they charging now?
I used to be a gold member, which gave you access to all of the lakes, I think there was six. I paid £175 a year.

Two different syndicates now. 1, 2 and 3 are called cow Lane syndicate I think.
I had a green card in the 90s...

That is the one run by Andy Stafford. There is another one behind it.
You have also got St. Ives lakes, Earith Carp lakes and lots of other smaller syndicates dotted about.

There's two syndis at the woolpack as mentioned. 1,2 & 3 run by Rob Farrant which I'm sure will still be under £500. Getting a ticket quick isn't going to happen though, especially if you don't know anyone to recommend you.
The other is run by Andy Stafford and I'm positive you don't have to pay for all the lakes at once. I'm sure you can get a 7&8 ticket and possibly a ticket for just lake 8.
There's a new one starting up over Block Fen I believe, on the water that was on the cfpas ticket. Think that was £300 or there abouts.
Earith could be worth a look. Should be under your budget and from what I've been told they let anyone on.
It may be worth speaking to Scottweiler on here as I believe he runs one in Cambridge somewhere.
To be honest mate, any syndicate that you can just walk into without at least being recommended isn't going to be worth spending that sort of money on. I'd join a club or two for now and get your name down on a few lists for the future.

Starting on st ives myself Friday after fair few years in the pipe line. Tough couple years on ferry lagoon down the road so be nice to actually see and catch a few after a huge amount of nights seeing nothing at all despite walking looking and walking some more at the right time, don't regret a second of it though mega place. Always tickets on ives mega fish mega place if wild is up your street 👍

Check out the website mate . So much water to go at you will always find somewhere to plant yourself . Would imagine shallows would be pretty busy at the weekend . But there is some serious expanses of water to go at if you fancy a challenge .

Yep. I guess that just shows how carp fishing has changed. No long waiting lists then, if you wanted a gold ticket you just paid the money in the tackle shop and walked out with one. Funny enough I found a couple of old pics of me with a couple of fish from lake 5/6 the other day. Taken around 2001 I think. I look very young. Lol.

Not bad those maps, really helped me learn the lake.
And the commons in the lake, some are awesome.
I had two 20lb commons in a night, the 24 was scale perfect, and the 21 was close. My daughter landed another 20lb common the same night on her rod. I was faffing with a fish, while she struck a run, when I got back she was landing it herself. Awesome.
Kind of wish I had stayed in the syndicate, but personal circumstances meant I had to move on, plus I wasn't too keen on some of the Simmo's

I have known Stan to be called many things over the years (including what he used to get called by my uncle at school when they were there together many moons ago!), but lovable???? Never heard him called that even by his ex's!!!!

Not fished it myself but a mate had a ticket on Hasse Fen a few years ago. He lasted one season due to it not being his cup of tea but caught quite a few thirty's, some lookers as well.
He's moved on to Monks now.
