Wellington-in-Arcadia

For immediate sale from the snuggery of a Sunday lunchtime public house known for today as 'Just in Sir!' an original and rare Geen Cup Ticket from 1935.  Issued to E. Gale representing Wellington Angling Society who drank on Tuesdays and Thursdays in The Wellington on Wood Green High Road.  Mr. Gale's catch at Peg 394 numbered one fish only at 4oz 3drm and it is perhaps not surprising that it did not win him the Geen Cup which in that season was lifted by a Mr. Gadd of the Kingston Working Mens Club A.S.
