Birmingham Anglers Association

Hi Stew1955,
Fancy you remembering that auspicious day and celebrating with that nice catch of fish!

I have just read Ollie’s, Halesowen RBL Match on the B-W Canal at Hanbury, your catch exceeded their Top 5 total.

Yes indeed Stew, we owe our good friend and d’angler Carlingford59 Keith, a big thank you for bringing together and forming our b.a.a. forum d’anglers AC.

In getting to know all of our members since having to take over from Keith, that it has become clearly apparent we have all regained something of the magic of fishing, and also having an opportunity to meet up occasionally and form a friendship with another lone d’angler.

When you consider how that COVID Lockdown impacted on ALL OF US, what Carlingford59 Keith did by forming this club was unimaginable it has helped all of regain some form of sanity in an evermore changing world!

d’angling on the side of a Canal, Pool or River has brought together a lovely bunch of blokes that are happy to get on the bankside and after the contest have a bit of banter and some liquid refreshment in a local hostelry, five or six times a year.

Thanks Stew for the reminder, thanks Keith for forming the club and to the Meatman get well soon

To the rest of you d’anglers just

Keep on Fishing…
