December Meeting : Tim Kelly

Is it December again already??...it only seems a couple of weeks ago that I was bothering our friendly local tackle dealers to kindly donate some prizes for our Xmas raffle...and here I am doing it all again!

Our main attraction this month is Mr Tim Kelly, who will be sharing his adventures of catching Ol' Esox's American cousin, the Muskie.
As usual we'll be meeting from 7 o/c onwards at the Papermakers, with Tim starting around 8......and then during the break for grub...

*************BUMPER XMAS RAFFLE*************

Hope to see you all there.....

Members £3.00 : Non members £4.00

Dennis Moules

An excellent talk by Dennis last month, and a bumper turn out from the members (standing room only)
Thanks to Dennis and to Bill Hancock and Colin Brett for bringing the EddieTurner range of specialist pike tackle for our perusement.

ABOUT THE P.A.C.

The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain was formed in 1977 as a direct result of changing attitudes toward pike. For far too long pike had been regarded by fishery owners and some anglers as vermin, to be killed and removed at all costs. Since it's inception, the PAC has done much to drastically change this mistaken attitude and pike are now widely regarded as a positive element in the natural balance of any fishery.Pike fishing has without doubt become one of the most specialised branches of coarse fishing. Not least in the methods of handling, unhooking and safe return of the fish once caught.The PAC works continually for the benefit of all pike and pike anglers, we seek only to further the opportunities for pike fishing, whilst preserving all that pike fishing is all about.We strive to protect pike from persecution by those who do not understand, or choose to ignore, the facts about the important role the pike plays in the balance of nature. We also work to promote pike conservation through safe practice by anglers.
