BRADFORD SEA AC: The trip to Liverpool Bay last Saturday was poor, with only small fish being caught. This was mainly due to too much fresh water coming into the estuary which pushed the fish out into the bay. The results were: 1 Ben Kitchingman (with two codling), 2 Jeff Forrest (with six small whiting), 3 Jon Gregg (with two small whiting). Our next general meeting will be held at the Girlington Conservative Club on Tuesday, December 15 at 8pm. This is our annual Christmas get-together and includes a giant raffle and buffet. Please remember to bring a raffle prize if you want a raffle ticket. Wives, girlfriends and boyfriends are welcome. We would like as many members as possible to attend this meeting, with new members always welcome.

LISTERHILLS AA: When the rubbish bins are full, would members please take their litter home – or better still, take it home anyway. Some quality roach are being caught at Rodley, with bread and caster the most successful baits.
