Whitby anglers' awards
Fifty-four people attended the annual dinner and prize giving of Whitby Sea Anglers' Association, at the Flask Inn on Friday evening. Mr Ron Wood, chairman, presided and welcomed guests. He said he was pleased to see four of the younger members in the prize list and warned the older ones to "watch out" as the youngsters gained more experience.
Mr Dave Johnson, secretary, said generally the season had been a quiet one, with fewer fish caught. However, there were some bigger fish about, and the club record was broken by William Atkinson on January 14th with a cod of 18 lb 09½ oz. The same member had seven double figure cod over the season. The best night of the winter was December 17th when 94 lb of cod was caught by 13 members and given to St. Hilda's Hospital, Whitby. Total weight for the season was over 400 lb down on the previous year. Vice president, Mr Eric Wilson, presented prizes to: 1 - W Atkinson - 111 lb 05½ oz 2 - B Stebbing - 106 lb 07½ oz 3 - L Spedding - 78 lb 13½ oz 4 - R Stonehouse - 69 lb 01½ oz 5 - G Stonehouse - 68 lb 05½ oz 6 - P Kilpatrick - 67 lb 05½ oz 7 - I Russell - 54 lb 11 oz. |
