The December meeting of the Gan Angling Club will be held in the Marine Bar on Wednesday, 9th December 1964 1t 1945 Hours.
   There was a disappointing attendance at the November meeting; only three members turned up, so naturally I was obliged to cancel the meeting.  The new accounting period commenced on 1st November, which necessitates the election or re-election of committee members.  I therefore urge all present and potential members to attend,
   A possibility exists that fishing facilities from the end of the M.C.S. Jetty will be withdrawn if fishermen persist in leaving their debris behind.  The Officer i/c Marine Craft Section and the Station Hygienist have rightly complained about the remains of crabs, bread, pieces of dead fish and fish gut lying about, not to mention the odd cigarette packet, papers, bottles, cans and even the occasional service cutlery knife. (Mr. Dolly take note).  As well as being unsightly, this mess constitutes a real hazard to the health of us all.  The flies are having a wonderful time.  I personally find it difficult to understand why a man, with the biggest garbage disposal known, a yard away from him, elects to drop his rubbish at his foot.  I am aware that only a small percentage of individuals fishing from the jetty are angling Club members, nevertheless many readers of this will, I hope, feel their guilt and take steps to correct their bad habits.
   It is hoped that the new sampans will be delivered within the next few weeks, widening our scope for deep water fishing, and large demands for heavier tackle are anticipated.  there are also a few Angling Club ties available - Pure silk, Made in England, Maroon coloured with a delightful tiny shark motif picked out in white with blue and yellow trimming - 12/1 each.

   Don't forget the meeting chaps.
