Bristol Golden Carp Angling Association - Minute Book

Bob "The Bread" Price gave me a book which was rescued from Colin Goldings House. It contains the minutes of the meetings of Bristol Golden Carp Angling Association. The book has 263 pages and covers the years from April 3rd 1939 to 3rd July 1950 - which includes the second world war period. 

As some one that still uses pen and ink I was most impressed with the quality of the hand writing and the long forgotten English language, wonderful how the meetings are closed with the words "in Harmony and Peace" - heart warming compared to today's standards.

There is too much to put on here but if anyone local to me wishes to read it contact me.

Post war they were running 200 peg matches on the Bristol Avon.

Note the comment re - Otters.
