Club History • Keynsham Angling Association - 1903 To Present Day
Keynsham Angling Association Keynsham Angling Association was founded on 2nd July 1903 at Beers Coffee Tavern in Keynsham by a group of local fishermen, with the purpose of creating a bond between anglers in the town.

This page offers a unique insight into over a century of Club activity via images from the original minute books. The images may take a little while longer to download as they have been kept as large as possible to allow for easier reading.
