I'd love to know where this silly rumour started?
I shall be going in to work tomorrow, as I do every Sunday, and I expect I might speak to Phil in the Byfleet store. Sometimes we take in stock that needs to be diverted to him, sometimes he's got something we need urgently.
Business has never been so good......ah!....
Perhaps that's why the rumour started?
Quite a few people have been down to Marsh Farm lately, and written it upon blogs, photos uploaded and the like. Is someone resentful?
I should point out that I am a member of Godalming Angling Society, and have been for some years, whereas I've only recently started working for Steve Moore who owns both Apollo Tackle shops. The two are separate entities, inspite of what one angling journalist wrote last year.
So I sort of wear two hats, happily without conflict, we're all just anglers together after all.
Sadly, Godalming Angling Society has had some appalling news this weekend just passed. Our long-time membership secretary, Bernard Miles ,passed away after a long and determined fight against encroaching illness. Perhaps this is why no one from GAS has been on the forum to speak so far.
Active to the very last, Bernard will be sorely missed both as a member and an officer of the Club. His hard work and cheerful demeanor were an example to us all. Would that I had his fortitude and resilience.
My commiserations go to Bernard's family in this sad, sad time.
