It was from the Anglers Mail dated 6th June 1992 in which he gave a two page run down on the Trent at Swarkestone.

It read........

.'....by Daiwa Trentman Darren Bickerton, from Alvaston near Derby, who has a best Swarkestone match weight of 43lb. But his proudest achievement was winning the 400 angler, five match Derby Summer league on the venue in 1990'

Wandered why you'd picked that name  ;)

Yer,

Used to fish all those Derby AA Summer League matches.

How times have changed - the Club don't exist now.

Anyway, turning the page and I’m greeted by a youthful, curly headed and sun tanned face beaming at me  

So here we go...............
