The pictures really do add something to this TK. It's great to have them and the records available.

Many thanks to MGB for his contributions.

The effort made to take or keep pictures over the years has been well worth it.

I'll second that Mark

Mick Kenn came up trumps in 1989 and was the 'man to beat' finishing up as champ

A couple of random snaps now..........


MGB, renowned for his exploits spinning for old Essox Luxius off the back of his moored boat at Grove Marina on the Cannock Extension, has been known to land a few on Cashmores matches as well.



Don't believe me...........




Well here's the proof, although with the passage of time, the venues are long forgotton

Four mystery men

A few pictures here of 'faces' from Cashmores matches, but their identities are unknown.......

Anybody add a name to a face?
















Perhaps Kim PhilB can shed some light on these?

NOSTALGIA OR WOT

Anybody add a name to a face?

I'm sure I've seen no 1 somewhere, obviously not on a Cashmores match, but that face certainly rings a bell..........

but that face certainly rings a bell..........

Quasimodo 

aven't got a scooby doo........

but number 2+3 look like the same person

Back to the presentation evenings...........


Here's Mick Kenn





And Mick again......




Lastly Mick picking up the team trophy in 1982 - MGB adds The guy in the pinstripe suit was a certain Mr Fred Bunn who was a high up official in the then Cashmores Sports and Social and although he was not a fisherman himself, he still came to the pres nights to present trophies till his retirement

Another couple of pictures from yesteryear..........

MGB informs us 'Pre bearded Mick on a river bank somewhere, date and venue unknown.
The pipe smoking guy behind him was Mr Dave Ward who was featured in the results of 1974, 1977, 1978, and 1981 winning matches at Upton, Ripple [also KO winner] Hallow and Edgbaston Reservoir respectively'

Another one from the presentation nights from yesteryear - here's Mick Kenn circa 1985 which MGB thinks this relates to the previous year, ['84] when Mick featured as a winner at Court Farm [R. Avon]

The guy in the middle is Alan Wilkes [RIP] who was the uncle of Alan Bishop, and the chap on the left is Pete Turner who was club secretary for a while

Going back a little earlier, here's a couple of MGB at the presentation following his successes during the 1983 season

The top picture, seems to show the presenter sporting a 'tach ... maybe, or maybe not 

Or has he left the paper on after his shaving nick ?

Either way, it does seem to be causing both interest and amusement 

A few more picks from the archives thanks to MGB


MGB advises 'Prizes being presented by Alan Wilkes with Pete Turner on the left. Venue and dates not known. '


First up, its our Mick (Kenn) again......








Mick picking up another trophy with the late JR at the front

TK them 2 kenn brothers give everyone a run for there money back then

Not half Dead Peg - they were the Ringers of their day

TK the venue for the last few photos is the Aldridge sailing club at Stubbers Green.
Peter Turner was a member and we had the club house at a favourable rate for 2 or 3 years.
On the first occasion Jan and I prepared the buffet..
