Match fishing

[smiling cat]

As I contempate my return I wonder about this game.

 

I was used to turning up and being welcomed. I was never a serious `Match Angler` but I fished a few for local clubs and did even once win a section prize in the Beds Hospital cup and even got through the first round of what was then called the `Embassy` when in Yorkshire

 

My local club book now says I have to be vetted by the Match Committee before turning up-not even Leeds Amalgamation in my Northern days did that.

 

What ever happened to `fun` in my days taking a break?

Maybe it died a death along with real angling.

 

Maybe the committee have had problems with people in the past

 

Maybe the committee are just a load of petty power hungry people
