Club History
It's official the Association was founded in 1910.
Bernard Lewis writes “ I joined the committee in April 1967 and until this year (2009) I fully believed that the Association was founded in 1911. While trying to find an exact date using the Buckingham Advertiser's archives we discovered that an initial meeting to gauge the amount of interest in forming a fishing club was held on 28th September 1910. At the next meeting on 21st November 1910 a committee, with a President and a Treasurer (who happened to be the local Lloyds bank manager), was elected.
The original article from 1910 from the local press of the time, which makes first reference to the association was printed on 26th November 1910 this is reproduced below - with the kind permission of the current Buckingham Advertiser.
Special thanks to also due to Geoff Kirk who helped research the history.
We hope you find these articles as interesting as the current committee.
Below is another article from the Buckingham Advertiser and North Bucks Free Press printed on Saturday January 21, 1911 - this article refers to the first inaugural meeting on September 28th 2010 and the first AGM held on the 18th January 1911.
