CLUB HISTORY

Steeple Aston Angling Club was formed by local men back in 1949, including such stalwarts as T. Barratt, W. Brock, B. Lewis, E. Calver, J. Wadham, J. Smith, E. Townsend, R. Walton any many others. The original membership fee was three shillings - thats fifteen pence today!

Many years later and the club is still going strong, fishing a variety of venues all around Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. Membership is still extremely competitive with discounts for junior and senior members – that's why we have members from ten to eighty! There have also been several female anglers who fished with the club regularly over the years, so no matter what your age or gender – you are always welcome to come and fish with us.
