Syndicate Auction this one. Alan Blair / Nash Tackle kindly offered us his personal set of 3 x 12ft Pursuit rods to auction in aid of our syndicate, which has been in multiple Nash and Urban Banx films.

We borrowed this Facebook post from another friend who has also passed away, Chris Ball, to honour Terry. Rest in power!

Met man en macht proberen vissers, wandelaars en natuurliefhebbers dit nu tegen te houden, onder andere met petities. Teken ze hier, ook al denkt u 'niet mijn regio, niet mijn probleem'. De Watergroep, eigenaar van het water, heeft al aangekondigd dat dit een proefproject is om later verder over het land uit...
