I was just down the road at Leconfield and not long back from Kenya, where I enjoyed much Trout fishing in the Mount Kenya glacial rivers. My annual license for this cost about 50 East African Shillings...I heard there was a chalk stream at Driffield and a Trout Fly Fishing club, so I telephoned them to see if I could join.

The secretary informed me that the Annual Membership fee was £90 and there was a three year waiting list :-(

So I took up Pike fishing and later my wife and family joined me to live in a hiring on the edge of Hornsea Mere...Had some wonderfull sport there and caught a lot of big pike

Hi Peter,

I go to Leconfield each year for the retreat ceremony, really enjoy it even though it is now densely populated by brown jobs.
It is I suppose, the only time a common ex S.A.C. is allowed in the Sergeants Mess - still the ale is cheap.
Earlier this year I came across a poor lonely R.A.F. type there, who said he was the only one there apart from the SAR teams. "11 years to go, and I hope it is not all bloody spent here!"

I know what you mean about membership fees, whilst I wqas in Kuala Lumpu, I asked about joining the Royal Selangor golf club and was told the fees were £800 per year :o, and me only on £2,400 per year.

Hornsey, now there is a place to come FROM. I went there a couple of years ago and it was shut.
