Burnham-On-Sea anglers reel in armfuls of trophies at club's AGM

Over 40 trophies were handed out to members of Burnham Boat Owners Sea Angling Association on Thursday (April 17th) when the group held its annual meeting.

The group's 100 members gathered at the town's Avenue Tennis Club for the annual get-together, when a busy year of competitions and a few bumper catches were were reviewed.

"The trophy for the biggest catch of the year went to Mark Dyer, who caught a 29lb conger eel last October," the club's secretary, Simon Stroud, told Burnham-On-Sea.com. "That was a great catch considering there have been fewer fish and smaller specimems in the past year," he said.

The club was established in 1975 and has almost 130 members, including 8 ladies and 10 juniors, fishing from over 50 boats. Annual membership costs from £25.00 and further details are available on 01278 794573.
