  2. Arthur was such a good bloke. You’d struggle to meet a nicer person. King Ash Bay won’t be the same without Arthur around. I’m really going to miss our afternoon beers and conversations about fishing, crabbing and the going’s on of the club. I hope the fish are biting and the beers are cold for you old mate. Rest in peace Artie
