This year started off on a sad note with us all hearing of the death of our Honorary Treasurer, Mr Neville Bennet.  Nev will always be remembered as one of the founder members of the Club and for all the hard work that he put in to get the Club off the ground and to build the Club up to what it is today.

The bay area of the pool was dug out to provide some more fishable pegs.  Working parties were arranged to clear weed from this and other areas of the pool.An out of season trip was arranged to Trawsfynyyndd Reservoir in Wales. This turned out to be very enjoyable for everybody who went. The away trips were arranged to: Stirchley Pool 24th June Buttersley Reservoir 8th July River Trent 19th August River Ribble 9th September River Eden 4th November The Monday evening matches started off in great form, with Mr W Griffin catching a seven pound carp. The Annual Dance was held at the Masonic Hall on the 24th November and again for the Presentation Dance on the 21st March 1980. The trophy winners this year were: De Brook Pool Champion Mr W Griffin Club Champion Mr B Hill Heaviest Match Weight Mr W Griffin Heaviest Fish Caught at De Brook Pool Mr K Rosser Junior Champion Mr A Monohan Some of the club members are now looking forward to the Northern Ireland fishing trip arranged for May 1980 by Mr John Lynch.
