THE "EASTBOURNE NOMADS ANGLING CLUB" IS THE OLDEST AND LONGEST RUNNING SEA ANGLING CLUB IN EASTBOURNE,EAST SUSSEX.
THE CLUB WAS FORMED IN 1913.BACK THEN,IT WAS CALLED "THE EASTBOURNE PIER AND BEACH ANGLING CLUB".
THE CLUB DISBANDED DURING THE 1st WORLD WAR (1914-1918).
THE CLUB REFORMED AGAIN AT THE END OF THE WAR.
IN 1923 "THE EASTBOURNE PIER AND BEACH ANGLING CLUB" WAS RENAMED.IT BACAME THE "EASTBORNE NOMADS ANGLING CLUB".
ONCE AGAIN THE NOMADS HAD TO HAVE A BREAK.THIS TIME IT WAS DUE TO THE 2nd WORLD WAR (1939-1945).
APART FROM THESE TWO BREAKS THE "NOMADS" HAVE ALWAY'S BEEN A STRONG ANGLING CLUB.
AFTER THE 1st WORLD WORLD WAR THE "EASTBOURNE ANGLING ASSOCIATION" WAS FORMED.
THE TWO CLUBS WERE (AND STILL ARE) SISTER CLUBS,THE "EASTBOURNE NOMADS ANGLING CLUB" FISHING FROM THE BEACH AND PIER,THE "EASTBOURNE ANGLING ASSOCIATION" FISHING FROM BOATS.
BOTH CLUBS ARE STILL GOING VERY STRONG TODAY.
THE ONLY THING THATS DIFFERENT WITH THE "EASTBOURNE NOMADS ANGLING CLUB" NOW IS,(APART FROM NEW FACES),WE ARE JUST A BEACH ANGLING CLUB,NOT PIER AND BEACH.
