The club was formed at the end of the summer in 1993.
The first meeting was held at the Three Tunns public house on 7
September. A good turnout of approximately fifty people attended this
meeting and the club was born.
The first committee meeting was held on 16
September and the first steering committee was formed, consisting of M
Spiller, A Agar, K Sparks, T Churchill, B Pritchard, D Retter and P
Smith. For the first few years the club carried on meeting at the Three
Tunns and it was a shore fishing club only. Eventually, the club moved
to its current meeting place, the Honiton Motel, and this is when the
casting and boat fishing section started.
Having always been a member of the NSFA from day
one, membership has generally been around sixty. The club has always
done well in the NSFA top ten specimen awards scheme, even when put up
against much bigger clubs with membership of many hundreds of anglers.
We would like to think that we have the perfect combination for the
club, having a good sound committee and reliable officers. If you think
there is anything we could do better, or if you have a problem, please
tell someone promptly so that we can try to make things right.
Club meetings are always held at the Honiton Motel
on the 3rd Thursday each month. All members are welcome to attend as are
any new members. Meetings start around 8pm. Membership costs £15 a
year for seniors, and £2.50 for juniors. We would also encourage
you to join the NFSA as a full member, but this would be up to you.
If you do join as a full NFSA member you club membership would drop to
£12 a year. The club can do all the NFSA
paper work for you if you need it.
Please let Mike Spiller know of any thing caught
or pictures that could be used on this web site to make it even bigger
and better for all to view.
Honiton SAC also have their own Caps (£5) and
sweatshirts/hoodies/rain coats/fleece (from £10.50) etc, if you need any information on clothing
please contact Mike Spiller
