Nigel thank you for posting the item of the great Fred J Taylor getting his well-deserved honour of his MBE. I had seen it before, but it’s refreshing to see it again, thank you.

Re: Fred J Taylor receiving his MBE
Thank you so much for posting that.
Absolutely marvellous, what a humble man he was, a genuine " one off"
I was privileged to meet him and Richard Walker when I was a boy and I've never forgotten it, and followed him ever since.
A Model for us all.
That truly is one I will keep.
Thanks again.
Mr B.

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!

Wonderful recognition for a wonderful man

Re: Fred J Taylor receiving his MBE
He was one of the 'greats' of angling, a character and a very nice man. A well deserved honour!
