Ilminster Angling Association – The Open
Following on from the earlier post about the IAA Xmas Fayre and its winners, I’ve done the same with the Open which was sponsored by Enterprise Angling for many years. The earliest result I could find for the IAA Open was from 22nd February 1976, I thought it might be quite interesting to list the numbers who fished and weighed in where …
Ilminster Angling Association – Committee Cup
I’m reaching the end of the list of IAA trophies, I couldn’t find a few of them to get photos and there are some gaps where I couldn’t find some of the names but as I go through the paperwork and records a bit more thoroughly, hopefully I’ll come across some of the missing winners. As the name suggests, this trophy was …
Ilminster Angling Association – The Xmas Fayre
There never used to be a trophy for the Xmas Fayre but as it’s one of the bigger matches on the IAA calendar, I thought it might be worthwhile compiling a list of winners over the years (I’ll do the same for IAA Open as well). There are a few gaps where I couldn’t find results. For the last few years the …
Ilminster Angling Association – Heaviest Match Weight Trophy
Winners of the Heaviest Match Weight Trophy. I think this one was presented for the top weight over the winter league series on the river, fairly modest weights in the earlier years and even though they began to increase in the 80’s, 20lb weights were yet to be a regular occurrence. It would be interesting to compare the weights to more modern …
Ilminster Angling Association – The Chub Cup
The last of the clubs ‘species’ trophies is the Chub Cup but I couldn’t actually find the trophy itself! It’s awarded for the best weight of chub during the river series. I managed to put together a list of most of the winners from various paperwork and AGM minutes. 1976-77 – P Austin – 10lb 6oz 1977-78 – G. Bulgin – 9.5oz …

Ilminster Angling Association – John Tovey Trophy
John Tovey presented this trophy to the club and was awarded to the angler with the biggest weight over the season who hadn’t won a trophy (I think that’s right!).
