More Tysley Memories...
[quote=scottg;52693]I can't elighten you on Mr. Ashe as the tyseley shop was before my time. Geoff Eardley was around that lot wasn't he? He's still running matches in Tamworth I believe.
Dopey b****r I am!...It was Ken Aske's son, I was on about (Peter I think, not Kevin?)...
Ken was the force behind the Birmingham Juniors (Starlets A.S.) & a great bloke...Did loads for the kids & Angling in this City was the better for it...
The Tysley shop, was later taken over by a bloke by the name of Terry...But can't remember his last name & I believe he stuggled a tad with trade, which was a pity, as he was a sound bloke & worked hard to try & get it moving...
Also remember the Yardley Shop, with old 'Bunny' at the helm, this was the 'Gallon of Maggot' era & I can hear him now...'Gallon is it?' (Dry ol' bugger) & berating me, for my lack of knot knowhow...Kids today! Beats me how you cop anything! ****'in clueless the lot of ya!
