It is with sadness that i inform members of the death on Friday 25th July of our 65 year old member Jim Hipkiss.Jims funeral was held today Monday 4th August which i attended as a friend,fellow fisherman and on behalf of OAA.
I met Jim many times fishing below the dipping bridge almost always using dry fly,not nessessarily as a purist but as this method gave him the greatest pleasure.
Jim always had time for a chat we would talk about many things and on many occassions he certainly restored my faith in mankind-he was one of lifes true gentleman and i will miss meeting him on his favourite pool.
Our thoughts are with Nena his wife, sons Tony and Mark and all the family
RIP
