Know this one.I did steward this national..1975..?
On the nene...incl north bank.
'God' fishing and catching bream/chub....S.G.
Did Michael Hoade-Reddick win this one with 60lb odd and John Essex had the carp and chub at Orton.?

#10

Yeah, you've got it me duck the World Conker Championships is held every year on the banks of the Nene at Oundle (Ashton).
It was cancelled the other year because of high winds

Yes I fished that one and drew in the same section as Mick Hoade Reddick or whatever his name was; the guy next to him went dry but that is bream! I think we drew on the upstream section called Alwalton or something like that. There were some huge fish caught that day.

Not sure but didn't Coleshill win that one.

Dave, I drew the same section as Mick Hoad Rddick, I think he was the end draw at Alwaton or somewhere like that.

The Elthorne AA team was listed as K Johnson, A Partridge, D Root, T Bloomfield. T Herridge, J Harmer, C Wilde, T Saunders, R caston, N Pilling J Wilkinson, G Fisher, R A Wilde, P Stratton, D Roberts, - as per programme.

Bet that brings back a few memories

Mick Hoad Reddick had 63-7-0, he fished for Rotherham.
I think Birmingham won the team event.

Interestingly Bob Nudd was listed as Reserve that year for Essex County.

Where's me anorak

Nice one Bill and WOC

- there's certainly some info recorded here for posterity

Yep it was 1975 with Bham AA coming out on top with a team weight of 43.15.12 amassing 814 points on their way to victory

79 teams fished that Div 1 national

As Bill said, M Hoad-Reddick of Rotherham UAF was individual champ putting 63.7.0 on the scales

Elthorne must have operated out of Hounslow A/C as on the list you have..Tony Bloomfield (owner) Tony Saunders (manager)..John Wilkinson.remember him won at Coombe Abbey..Andy Partridge..The Team..with KC J.Mac etc.
Saw Ken last week and he talks to Andy on a regular basis..in Cornish riviera now catching on his style,,
Then Dell Root.
Oh was it that long ago Bill Yards.?
