Prince Albert Angling Society
Back in 1954 a group of a dozen or so friends and match anglers regularly met at the Prince Albert Pub in Newton Street, Macclesfield, Cheshire. They fished either on day tickets or as guests of one of the big fishing clubs of the day. This led to the idea that they should club together and rent a water of their own, “and the rest” as they say, “is history”. This site is managed by Richard Gentle, together with the PAAS Webmaster.
riversMEET Art Group

Wakefield Jazz Club
Wakefield Jazz is a not-for-profit organisation, founded in 1987 by Alec and Faith Sykes, who nurtured the club from its inception to national recognition. The club has had a long-term, friendly association with Wakefield Sports Club. This site is managed by Richard Gentle.
“Richard was recommended to me when the Jazz Club needed to refurbish our website and bring it up-to-date with regard to Social Media and our Archiving of gig images. He has done this in a conscientious way, not only responding to all aspects of the brief we gave him but in a proactive way suggesting improvements himself. As a result of the “success” of our site we have been asked about our webmaster, or I have recommended him, to all three other organisations with which I am associated (see below).
“The requirements of the organisations have been diverse so not all their needs have had obvious solutions that Richard could “plug into”. In all cases he has sought solutions by research and generally arrived at results which have satisfied the customer. His greatest strength is his rapid acknowledgement of requests for action and, almost as frequently, rapid achievement of the actions sought. He is praised for this promptness of response by all those who have employed him. His fees and requests for expenses are very reasonable – in one case a competitor for a job withdrew saying he could not fulfill the brief for the budget offered (Richard did).” – Chris de Saram (now deceased) former Promoter Wakefield Jazz, Chair NorVol Jazz, Board Member Wakefield Sports Club. The current Promoter is Pete Rosser.
