ALL-ROUND CEREAL

GROUNDBAIT

Roach, skimmers and bream find the fresh crumb, bread,

sweet biscuit and grades of crushed hemp and seeds

highly addictive! Plus the dark colour ensures wary, quality

fish will confidently sit over it in all clarities of water.

RIP Cyril Wigg

THE passing of a colossus of

the Norfolk Broads angling

scene, Cyril Wigg, was

mourned today (Tuesday)

by friends and family, in

a service at Norwich’s St.

Faith’s Crematorium.

Aged 93, Cyril lost his

battle with cancer in

late May. He is survived

by his wife of 67 years,

June, daughter Avril and

granddaughter Heidi.

A founder member and

president of Norwich and

District Angling Association,

Cyril was a key fi gure in

securing fi shing rights on

the Rivers Bure, Thurne and

Ant.

Many match anglers

from further afi eld will

remember his three decades

of service as main organiser

of the annual Broads

Championships Open, which

drew entries of 600-plus

in the 1960, ’70s and early-

’80s.

Paying tribute on the

club’s Facebook page,

Norwich DAA kingpin Tony

Gibbons said: “Without

doubt, the angling available

today on the Broads for club

members and visitors alike

is down to Cyril’s hard work

and dedication.”
