A MAN looking to set up a sea angling club for Darwen has found 30 like-minded people.
Alec Ashby, 60, of Bolton Road, Darwen, appealed in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph last week for people willing to join him for weekend fishing trips and meetings.
Now the club is being set up and the date of the first meeting will be announced soon.
But Alec still wants more people to join.
"The only thing that was disappointing was the complete lack of interest, with the exception of myself, from novices," he said.
"Surely there are men and women, who are young, old, disabled or lonely, out there who would like to find out more about sea angling?
"You don't even have to fish, but may just want company, or to get involved in running the club.
"The bonus is 30 proficient sea anglers to advise us!"
Anyone interested should call Alec on 07941 707660 or e-mail ashbear50@ blackburnmail.com.D
