WARE ANGLING CLUB

In the early days the Club had its junior and adult members and they travelled far and wide to the away club matches, by coach. There was also a strong following of anglers who formed a sea fishing section and they travelled to the coast to fish from the piers and those with the stomach for it went and fished the wrecks from a boat... Most of the local matches then were fished on the River Lea, through Ware Town, or behind Wickhams Wharf (now the flats opposite Tumbling Bay) or along the towpath through St Margaret's. Believe me as a local at weekends if you were not on the river bank by 6.30am you could not get a swim as anglers from North London arrived on the early trains in droves to get the best swims. Then all the riverbanks were wonderful natural banks, grass lined with rushes and overhanging trees. Not what we are greeted with today, concrete walls, steel guardrails and cycle tracks...
