The club was formed in
1977 by two keen anglers living in the village. Both have long since left
the village, but they got the ball rolling by obtaining agreement from
one of our three landowners to fish one particular stretch of the river.
At the time they chose to give the club the name "The Herons",
but for many years now the club is simply as the Ixworth Angling Club.
From 1982 onwards the club has been organised and run with a formal
Committee, and since that time we have been successful in increasing the
number of stretches of the river Blackbourn that can be fished by club
members :
|
|
|
· The Commister Lane stretch
· The 'Booty's Hole'
· The Barns section
· The Micklemere stretch
|
In total this means about a mile and half of the river Blackbourn is
available to be fished by members.
The Club runs a series of matches during the season, and an annual
charity match on the Sunday a week before Christmas. We actively
encourage youngsters to join and arrange fishing instruction sessions
during the Summer months.
The club attempts to issue a newsletter on a regular basis to all
members, and the current issue can be viewed by clicking on the link here
: Latest issue of Heron News.
Members are most welcome to submit comments or articles to be
incorporated in new issues of Heron News. We will also attempt to include
copies of digital photographs of any special fish caught by members.
Please forward any draft articles or pictures to the Chairman Peter
Hunwick by Email, address - hunwick@peterhunwick.fsnet.co.uk
Alternatively if you do not possess a home computer you may pass the
details to him via his home address in Ixworth, or contact him by
telephone. Details can also be passed to any member of the Committee.
