I find it fascinating looking through old club records.

Even more so if you know the people involved and the memories they bring back.

Every 'weigh in' recorded is the record of someones day, with a story behind it.

Too right mate i love looking through them. Makes you feel old though

i remember when frank used to wear a bright yellow fishing suit like the ones they wear on the trawlers you could see him for miles

Sorry Steve the archives dont go back that far

remember when you were little and you had an old fishing basket made of cane before that i used to have an army havasack with two porkupine quills for floats  my favorite venues used to be the stewpony canal and stanford bridge on the river teme  (times gone by}  cant carry my stuff now need a horse and cart used to catch the bus from lye to stourbridge then to stewpony with a tanners worth of maggots  in an aluminium bait tin  about 55 years ago do you have any favorite fishing memories ?

i think i joined this club in 1975  only frank has been in longer than me  was a great little club back in them days fishing rivers and canals does anybody have any funny moments on the river or canals

how old are you steve ? , do you get the pensioner discount yet , diden;t realise you have been a member for over 38 years , think we should start saving for a gold watch for you

i am 65 years young and i got £9.00p discount on my licence

and £20 off your subs , just twigged about your other posts

i beleive you joined in 1974 ? , anyway if i can persuede frank we will get a trophy in your honour next year , you pick the venue , fished for annually
