New Committee member

We are pleased to announce that Peter Harrison has joined the committee.  Peter is a very experienced angler with a wealth of knowledge relating to both fly and coarse fishing. He also has considerable relevant knowledge and experience from his professional career which will be very helpful.

Peter will be monitoring and actioning our incident reports as well as working with other committee members on various projects. 

We are pleased to announce the award of Honorary Life Membership to Gordon Alexander in recognition of his long service and contribution to the society.

Gordon  has been a member of RADAS for over thirty years, served on the committee and also wrote a book about the club's history which continues to provides a useful reference. Gordon attends club events, helps out on work parties and is always willing to give advice and provide assistance to the present committee whenever needed. Gordon is also one of our Trustees. 

Congratulations Gordon, well done and thank you on behalf of the committee and all of our members. 

Gordon's book is available on our website here: https://richmondangling.org.uk/about

On Sunday 6th April members of RADAS took part in a litter pick organised by club secretary Allan Harder. The event was well attended and ten bags of rubbish were picked up from the Easby Loop. 

The club supports the Angling Trust "Anglers Against Litter" campaign and the event also coincided with the last day of the national "Keep Britain Tidy" campaign. 

Our next litter pick will be in September. Details will be published nearer the time.
