Memories of Phil Parsons 18/9/1931 - 24/5/2016
We have received sad news that a long time member Phil Parsons passed away on the 24th May 2016. Phil aged 85 suffered from Parkinsons disease but through it all he carried on fishing until he could not physically manage any more. An active member at Matlock and a ever present on the matches up until 2004, Phils enthusiasm for fishing was infectious, rain, snow, hail and frost made no difference to Phil he would still turn out to fish!

Angling is a art form and Phil was one who mastered it better than most. Just to mention a few people who have benefitted from Phil's experience John Marsh, Brian Marsh, Ron Trevis, Herbert Colls, Frank Smith, Ken Wood, Steve England, Geoff Brown, Ricky Wild and Asa Cooper.
