Competition Time
Moggy & Betty Moore were two of the founder members of the rekindled Wellworthy Angling Club back in 1987. Following his untimely death caused by a stroke back in March 2004, an inter club fishing match was organized as a memorial to Moggy and to raise money for Weymouth’s disabled angling boat “The MV Freedom”. Moggy Moore was a popular and very well known angler.

Weymouth won the 1st match in 2006 and after the raffle a cheque was raised and presented for the total of £450 to the Skipper, Pete Targett.
