Bit of BAA history
Hello
Thought your older members might like to see these photos.
My father was John Harding, and his dad was Albert Harding who was your President a long time ago! Albert used to run a tackle shop. Dad used to tell me about people buying maggots by the pint, which as a squeamish kid I thought was horrible! The name Jimmy Boleyn is also familiar to me and he had some kind of link with Dad's Aunty Ada, but I don't know exactly how. I heard rumours that he cleared out Ada's house when she died.
Dad died aged 89 a few years ago but I found a lot of slides in his collection and scanned them. Several look like they were from fishing expeditions. I can't name the people but if anyone ever finds out who they are, I'd love to know.
Best wishes
Alison Harding
