Eastbourne Angling Association offers angling opportunities, competitions and events to its members.
Never a day goes by,when I do not think of the angling club,but more so YOU the members,when Covid started no one knew what the consequences were going to be,or how long it would last.
Well here we are now,many months down the line,still not knowing,when we will be returning to club life.
From different types of correspondence I receive,I understand you to are missing normal day life,many who have had traumatic experiences,through isolation.
But never feel alone,there are so many who are in the same position,who are feeling just like you,give someone you know a call,you may not be best buddies,but they to ,could be waiting to hear a different voice,other than the ones on the radio or tv.
The roll out of the vaccine,has lifted spirits,and I am sure,a lot of our older members will have had their first dose.
There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Even though the weather,has not been too good,our fishermen have not been able to go to sea,because of the restrictions set upon us,and I know are chomping at the bit,to get back to doing the sport they love.
So finally,for now,roll on the days,when no more elbow and fist bumps,to acknowledge each other,and when we can all sit down around the tables enjoying each other’s company.
For anyone that has been poorly,we Wish you the speediest of recoveries
Also anyone that has lost relatives or friends,to the pandemic we send our heartfelt condolences.
During these uncertain times once again,we are here to let you know there is no need to feel isolated,if you are having any problems getting through these times,let us know 07840 351941,and if we cannot help you directly,we will certainly find someone who can help.
There is light on the horizon,and we must ALL be strong and see our way through.
Just because we are not in the clubhouse,does not mean,we are not still,a family that can help each other,in times of stress.
Look after yourselves and keep safe

If you are just on holiday or actually live in Eastbourne where better than to spend your time relaxing ,and enjoying a drink. Whether it may be a coffee,or something a little stronger.
In the fine months the views from our elevated decking is superb,listen to the lapping of the waves,whilst watching the world go by.
And in the darker,drearier months sit on our glass fronted heated verandah,where you can see to Hastings in the East and Beachy head in the West.
And if you are on holiday,why not take advantage of temporary membership for just £2.00 per week per person.
Just one visit and you would have saved that on your drinks alone
Our inception took place in 1905 just half a mile from our present building, when like-minded men who needed food for their tables set up the local angling club.
They were local tradesmen, and did the work on their new wooden clubhouse all themselves.
They then bought, and in some instances built, their own boats to go to sea. As you can imagine, they were all row boats.
TRUE FISHERMEN.
Then in the 1930s when the first SEAGULL engines appeared, this meant they could go further afield.
In 1969 the council needed the land on which the club was situated, so we moved to our present site which was opened in 1971.
In the heydays of the 1980s, we hosted the Eastbourne town boat fishing festival, which was recognised all over Europe. We had several competitors from Germany and Denmark. One of our members Ron Yates,won the SOUTHERN TV TROPHY,hosted by the late great Jack Hargreaves.
Even though we are specifically a Boat angling club, we cater for all genres of fishing, and our members enjoy trying their hands at all types of fishing.
We have just resurrected our beach angling section which is extremely well attended, mainly because the fish are returning to our shores, and our camaraderie extends throughout the club.
