Many angling clubs AGM’s cancelled.

3 January, 20213 January, 2021 by Alistair

Well, it looks like many of the angling clubs have been forced to cancel their AGM’s due to the current pandemic. I cannot say that I am surprised as I have had a flurry of emails from my kids activity clubs all holding their AGM’s online this year. Obviously this means that for the local…

Ack Ack!

14 May, 20202 January, 2021 by Alistair

Shock Expose:Hardy used subliminal sex messages in its adverts!

29 August, 201230 August, 2012 by Alistair

(I wrote this post back in February 2011 – I have no idea whether they still use sex to sell fly fishing gear #grin#) Oh Hardy – you used to be all butlers and stupidly expensive reels – where did it all go horribly wrong? So I got home from a hard day of shopping…
