New club for disabled fishing opens in Derby

D.D.A.C.
Derby Disabled Angling Club was formed on the night of 24th July 2008.
It was a great evening and very well attended. The Guinness flowed well. We are using the William Caxton public house in Sunnyhill, Derby as our headquarters and we are very gratefull to the landlord for allowing us the use of his pub.
A constitution and club rules was done and match rules sorted. It was agreed that subs will be £10 a year but will be reviewed at the Clubs A.G.M.

The committee is

JOHN STARTIN - CHAIRMAN
BARRY VOLLEY - VICE CHAIRMAN
DAVE WRIGHT - TREASURER
PENDING -MATCH SECRETARY
NIGEL BUTLER - HEAD BAILIFF
JOANNE ALLEN - SECRETARY
ALAN MORTON - COMMITTEE MEMBER
KEITH HAYNES - COMMITTEE MEMBER (ELECT).

We are holding a meeting on Thursday 28th August 2008 to pay subs ect and a special thank you to Sammy (fairyquest) for printing Membership cards and Committee cards. We are having our own website (not a free one) which should soon be up and running. Matches will be ongoing in the winter months as well as summer.
We are also aiming for about 20% of the membership to be able bodied to join us as helpers who as well as fishing the matches will be able to assist in getting tackle to bankside for those who cannot manage

I would like on behalf of D.D.A.C. members thank those members who have joined the committee to make this a successful club.

UP DATE
Owing to reasons beyond the clubs control we have moved Headquarters to the GREYHOUND on VILLAGE ST DERBY.
We have 30+matches booked this season plus a few new venues too so we are all looking forward to the match season. I would like thank Nigel for his hard work and a bit of creeping in getting the matches organised as a lot of fisheries were booked up. .
We are having a few challenge matches this season also.
I would like to thank Martin for his hard work he put in as match sec. I wish you all the best in your fishing.
