7 liked minded individuals meet in a pub, circa 2002, after a chance meeting on the Kennet of Neil Harding Deans and I. Soon after 4 of them start to fish together and a name comes about. Through BFW, fish-ins are arranged and a few pub meetings. One particular evening in 2005, the core of what is now the WBC come together and friendships are formed. The website is soon set up and a brand to follow. We are not a political beast nor a commercial one, thus there is no 'membership' as there's nothing to join. We've shared some fantastic moments and, sadly, some very tragic ones....That I believe has made us the strong entity we are today. Some top draw specimen anglers who, in the main do their stuff on the QT.
Neil Harding Deans & John Pain aka 'The 'Jackpiker'.....gone, but very much still with us...
