Chairman Thomas William (Bill) Scaife, started the angling club 50 years ago and has been chairman of the club for all of those years. The club secretary and treasurer wanted to mark this milestone 50th anniversary of both the club and of Bill’s chairmanship and organised a presentation.
A beautifully inscribed clock detailing the dates of Bill’s involvement with the club was presented immediately prior to the start of the annual meeting, which was held on March 7.
A surprised and slightly bemused Bill thanked the club for the presentation as he looks forward to many more years as chairman.
Staindrop Angling Club was recently in the news as member John Brown successfully applied to DEFRA for a consignment of 2,000 young fish: 500 roach; 500 bream; 500 tench and 500 crucian carp which were delivered to Raby High Lake in November last year.
The turnout for the annual meeting was high with more than 50 people present and several new members looking to join.
Anyone interested in joining should contact club secretary Trevor Pybus on 01388 718495 or Steve Sinclair, assistant secretary, on 01388 710576 or 07400 866231.
Costs to join start at £10 for seniors and £5 for juniors and concessions.
Basic membership entitles the member to fish more than 4,000m of Langley Beck which has trout and was recently stocked with Grayling.
There are additional costs to fish Raby Lakes.
