Past, Present & Future

Dudley R 'n' R was formed back in June 2006 and came about because some council workers used to spend their lunch break fishing the canal at the side of the Leys depot, Brockmoor.

An original member, Peter Hawthorne suggested one day that a competition should be arranged and that all anglers taking part should use a rod and reel to keep experienced and new comers on a fairly even keel, thus Dudley R 'n' R was born.

The first competition was held at the local vineyards fishery and a good turn out ensured a great day was had by all attending. Various other competitions were arranged for the remainder of that year, another visit to the Vineyards was followed by visits to Furnace mill, Wellfields and Sion Farm.

You can now fish any method you like and all comps are now fished in sections so you only fish against the people drawn in your section.

This club is all about enjoying a day out with mates and family members whilst enjoying your fishing, we try never to fish the same venue twice in any year and indeed if we do return to a venue we request a different pool be allocated to us. Our season consists of 12 (13 for the 2011 season) venues which are fished between March and October. In the very early days the club was set up mainly for local authority workers but this is no longer the case and anyone wishing to gain further information about joining can do so by mailing info@drnrac.co.uk.

We currently have 20 members and anyone wishing to join will be put on a waiting list. The club is a mixed ability angling club and has anglers of all ages. 2011 is our 5th full year and we have progressed at a steady rate and are made welcome at some of the top venues in and around the midlands area.

The club, as always, has some great ideas moving forward. If you would like to add any ideas or if you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on admin@drnrac.co.uk, or consult any committee members bank side.
