Anglers had good winter sport

Whitby Gazette 1971.
Last winter members of Whitby Sea Angler Association enjoyed their best sport for three years. This was stated by Mr. Ron Wood, chairman, at the annual buffet supper and prize giving at the Flask Inn (Mr. and Mrs. CC Isle) on Friday evening.
The trophies were presented by Mr. Alan Marshall, a vice-president, and other guests including Mr. JS Cartridge, JP chairman of Whitby Magistrates and Mrs. Cartridge. Over 50 people were present.
Mr. Wood said the Association had enjoyed another year of good sportsmanship and good fellowship, and he and his fellow officials, Mr John Swales, secretary, and Mr. David Johnson, treasurer, were very happy about the spirit in the Association.
Mr. Swales reported that it had been a really good winter season. The Association, he added, had a membership of 39, plus five junior members. It was the first time they had had so many juniors.
He went on t report that a total of 852 lb 12½ oz of fish had been landed in competitions. 112 lb more than last year. The total was roughly the same as three years ago. In 1966/7 it was over 1,000 lb.
Mr. Swales added that last December, 17 members caught over 100 lb of fish in a single night's fishing competition. he said that the Junior trophy had been won for the second year running by Rodney Wood, the chairman's son. As a result of this success the trophy was his to keep, and Mr. Marshall, the donor, had undertaken to provide another cup for competition by the juniors next season.
The secretary went on to announce the season's results as follows:
1. William Atkinson 129 lb
2. John Stonehouse 101 lb 00½ oz
3. Ray Stonehouse 69 lb 14½ oz
4. Rodney Wood (Jnr) 59 lb 14 oz
5. Steve Worthy 51 lb 09½ oz
6. Morris Brown 50 lb 13 oz
7. Andy Marr 46 lb 05 oz.
Heaviest Fish - M Brown a cod of 15 lb.
Juniors
1. Rodney Wood 59 lb 14 oz
2. Bernard Stebbing 15 lb 00½ oz.
The secretary'e wife, Mrs. Gillian Swales, presented Mr. Marshall with a bottle of sherry. In expressing his thanks, Mr. Marshall spoke of the amount of real enjoyment the members got out of angling, and the sportsmanship , friendship and fellowship to be found in the Association. He also added they were very fortunate in having such good officials.
