Congratulations must go to our chairman Roger Smith. On a trip to Cork in Ireland last week, he caught a magnificent pollock of 14lb – and he was only fishing a wreck 600 yards off shore. Our trip secretary is trying to organise an outing this month to Rhyl. If you fancy it, telephone Dave on 07711-987833.

Our next meeting is on March 20, commencing at 8pm. This is our presentation evening so please try to attend.
