Dear All,
It is with great sadness that I must inform you of the passing of Barry.
Barry was a Committee member and the cup custodian for many years, he was also an avid match angler plus a great contributor and friend to the Society. He was often at the pond repairing fences when needed and helping on the work parties.
He would always be at the matches with his friend George Heywood until George passed a few years ago .Barry was a hold out for many years against the pole preferring the waggler and won his fair share of prizes which as one of the lads said on a match he just won “You can still win with rod and line when you know what you’re doing with it” and Barry did.
Barry will be greatly missed by those of us privileged enough to have known him . Our thought’s go out to his Wife Cynthia and his family.
Barry’s funeral is to be held at Grenoside Crematorium North Chapel on Thursday 14th May at 10 a.m. and refreshments afterwards at The Royal British Legion, Ecclesfield Road, Chapeltown, Sheffield S35 1TE
Fish in peace Barry and say Hi to George for us.
