PLEASE READ the NEWS section (above) for all the latest club
information
Welcome to
the
revised site of the club.
The Scunthorpe Pisces Angling Club is the
new name adopted by the former Scunthorpe
Police Angling Club. The club was formed
back in the 1970's when a group of local
police officers took up the lease of the
farm reservoir in Lodge Lane, Flixborough
from the Sheffield Estate, the owners of
vast areas of land around Scunthorpe,
including local landmark and beauty spot
Normanby Hall and Country Park.
The club was originally a section of the
police sports and social club, in the days
when most police stations still boasted a
licensed bar and, often, a games room and
snooker table. .In the early days the club
was only open to police staff and was
supported by the parent club. As such bars
and social clubs fell out of favour with the
hierarchy of the police forces around the
country, the parent club folded, leaving
only those sections which could survive
without the financial backing of the social
club. The angling section at Scunthorpe was
able to carry on trading, but only by
opening up the membership to those outside
the police.
As soon as we did so, the popularity of the
Flixborough pond meant there was a sudden
influx of members and the club immediately
grew to the point where we had to take on
other waters to accommodate this influx of
anglers. The club portfolio grew and, year
on year, so did the membership until we
reached the stage we are at today with
numerous waters and approximately 1500
members from across the north of England and
the Midlands.
Over the next few years the non-police
membership outgrew the police members and
the constitution was gradually altered to
what it is now, where the membership is
completely open to anyone and the police
have no input or control of the club. The
recent change of name has been decided upon
to reflect the changes in the club's
constitution.
The change of name coincided with the
changes to this website. The site had been
inaugurated and maintained by Paul Thompson
and the club remains grateful to Paul for
his invaluable help in this venture. The new
site, and indeed, the club itself, is being
updated and amended to reflect the current
state of things. The site will eventually
show all you may need to explore the club
and it's facilities.
You can always read up to date news,
