Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a Baptist preacher of the Victorian era who once commented that it was "by inches that the snail made it to the ark." The progress towards setting up a Christian angling network has also felt like it's progressing "by inches", too but having met with my friend, fellow church minister and co-conspirator, Stewart Bloor last week I think we're pretty close now.
Stewart, whose weekly blog entitled "Stewart Bloor's Angling Diary" has a massive following, and I now have a graphic designer who will be helping set up the website, and anticipate that in the Spring all the content will be ready to "go live". There'll be forums, opportunities to connect with other anglers and we're looking to run a number of "angling retreats"- weekends of fishing with a faith-based twist.
We're planning a carp fishing session together next month (heck, it's only December, so why not?) and- no doubt- will talk more then.
It may be "by inches", but we're getting there, and shortly the dream will be realised.
