There was a good turnout of members at the Trade Night. The trade stands were set up early and their wares were keenly inspected by all and sundry. Old friends were met and fishing tales exchanged, no doubt all were looking forward to the new season and intending to do better than last year.

Due to the high water conditions in early November it was not possible to remove any fish from the river for egg production. By the time the river had returned to normal levels the fish were already paired up on the redds, and we were advised by the FCB not to attempt to remove fish as this could impair the natural breeding and would not overall be beneficial to the river.
PLEASE NOTE ALL MEMBERSHIP FEES MUST BE PAID UP NO LATER THAN THE LAST DAY IN FEBRUARY. ANY MEMBER NOT PAID UP BY THIS DATE MUST WRITE TO THE COMMITTEE AND GIVE A VALID REASON FOR THE DELAY.
The Annual Dinner will be held in the Tullymore House Hotel, Broughshane on the 28th February 2003. Anyone wishing to attend or donate a prize for the ballot please contact John Graham, no later than the Trade Night.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting held in the Buff's Social Club, Connor on 13th June 2002, to discuss amending the Club Constitution and changing the club name, the necessary alterations were made to the Constitution and a new name agreed for the club. The name chosen by majority decision was "Kells, Connor & Glenwherry Angling Club", this is more representative of the waters fished by the club.
Our annual pike night was held on the 29th June on the river Main, by kind permission of the Randalstown Angling Club. This is the first competition under the clubs new name. Some of those taking part (photo 1) are from left to right :-Jim McGall, Alan McIlveen, John Waddell, Sarah Waddell, Ken Jameson, Andy Gregg, Colin Boyd and John Frew. The three junior anglers are the Waddell brothers Richard, David and Jonathan
Eight years old Richard Waddell (photo 2) is obviously very happy with his 12lb 7oz pike, the only one caught on the night.
