Angling Section. The last Comp. of the season proved to be something of a non-event, as most members visited the Malvern Boat Jumble on the 23rd of February. The previous Comp. on the 9th of February was won by John Gittins with a 11lb 15oz Thornback ray and second prize went to Bob ward with a Cod of 4lb 7oz. Good cod etc were very thin on the ground, [and in the Channel].

The Section A.G.M. was held on Wednesday 26th Feb. and the turnout was interesting, with quite a few new faces present. Trevor Parker has stepped down as Chairman and a new Committee has been formed as follows:- Chairman, John Gittins; Vice Chairman, Trevor Parker; Secretary, Bryan Morgan; Treasurer, John Roberts; Membership Secretary, Mike Street; along with two other Committee Members, Keith Jenkins and Clive Jones. Due to pressure of work etc., Clive Jones has had to relinquish the Weighmaster’s role and we are therefore anxious to either promote from within or recruit a Weighmaster. Any offers? We would welcome at least one other new committee member, anyway. The new Committee is determined to make a success of running the Section with a much greater emphasis on organising more social events, especially in view of recent events, where members have appeared to be “drifting-away” from our Section. To this end, a Pre-Season Fisherman’s Night is to be arranged ASAP and hopefully, further events will be organised during the coming months. So, keep an eye on the Section Notice Board, the Club web site and this newsletter. A new list of Competitions, running from May -to- December, is in the process of being formulated and will be posted on the web site and Notice Board as soon as possible. Further comps for Jan/Feb 04 will be posted as soon as
new tide-tables are available.

Please don’t forget—The Committee is always wanting to hear from members, so, if you’ve got anything to say or have any ideas or suggestions –Do please get in touch.
