Luton Angling Club Weekly News Report for the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & St Neots Cambridgeshire Area - Week Ending 23rd June 2019

Sadly this week the club lost long time member Ian Dilley who passed away suddenly on Friday. I had personally known Ian for a good many years initially through my angling writing and then got to know him better over the years when I would chat on the bank while fishing and at the club AGM's. A really lovely guy who will be greatly missed, our thoughts and deepest sympathy go to his wife, two daughters, family and friends at this difficult time.
