Chairman William Atkinson
After the meal, Chairman William Atkinson started proceedings with his customary summary of the season. William commended Scott Moore on a remarkable first season with WSAA, coming 8th, landing the Heaviest Fish of the season, 11 lb 09 oz on 28th Nov. 2012, and for being runner up in the singles knock-out competition.
William spoke of another remarkable season for WSAA Champion Matthew Garbutt, for the second year running, not only catching twice the number of fish of 2nd place Neil Inglis, but weighing in just over double his weight. Unfortunately Matthew did not beat the long standing records set by Denis Thompson in the 1986/87 Season, 229 fish for 344 lb 03 oz over 53 matches (as opposed to 52 matches for the 2012/13 Season). Matthew did set a new record for the Heaviest Bag of fish for a Sunday 4 hr match on 25th Nov. 2012, 7 fish for 31 lb 06 oz.
William spoke highly of Junior member Jay Allison who has a knack of out fishing his father Rob.
Secretary Peter Horbury and William then presented the worthy winners with their trophies (photographs by Peter Horbury).
After which William gifted the Weigh Master James Gilpin, Treasurer Dave Perrett and Secretary Peter Horbury, with assorted bottles of wine and spirit for their work in maintaining the smooth running of the club for the members.
The Fun Quiz organised by the secretary's wife, Chris Horbury, was won by Neil and Allison Inglis. On behalf of WSAA the secretary, Peter Horbury, would like to thank the staff at The Stables and thank you to all members for attending, see you all next year.
Tight lines.
