BRADFORD & DISTRICT SEA AC: Our next meeting is on Tuesday at the New Inn, East Bierley (8pm). Our anglers who fished in Ireland last week will be there with a few good stories to tell of their latest exploits. We have a trip to Rhyl on Saturday, August 21. Anyone wishing to go should call Brian on 07901-717615 to book a place. Calling all members, especially the longer-serving ones. If you have any old photos of good fish that you have caught, or ex-members who have passed away, or any old photos of the club in general, could you please let me borrow them as I am compiling a story of the history of the club as it is our 40th anniversary this year. You can either come to the meeting and bring them along or call me on 07901-717615 and I will arrange to pick them up. I would be most grateful for your cooperation in this matter.
