Society results were published in ‘The Angler’ in 1893. An example of this, an extract from page 11 of THE ANGLER, July 22, 1893, reads:

• Waters on the Trent from Long Eaton downstream to Barton were rented from the old Nottingham Co-operative Society and the Long Eaton Council.
• Almost 100 years ago (early 1900s) LEVAS acquired the fishing rights on what is still the Society’s stretch of the Erewash Canal.
• The popular Kegworth waters on the Soar were taken on in 1921.
• Over the next few years the whole Cranfleet Canal and the Ratcliffe section on the Soar were added to the portfolio.
• Fletchers Pond was taken on in 1949.
• Grange Pond came on line in 1985.
• LEVAS took over the Colwick section of the Trent in 1989, which was, of course, purchased by the Society in 1997.

• The first Secretary was Bill Matthews, who opened Long Eaton’s first Fishing Tackle Shop – in his front room!
• The first real President was Godfrey Skyrme, who held office from around 1920 to 1935.
• The late Tom Hopewell served for 48 years as Chairman.
• John Adams joined the Committee in 1973, was elected President a year later, an office he still holds today.

• Another rule around at that time related to the weighing of fish. It said that three members must be present. Failing that it must be taken to the Landlord of the Society’s HQ.
• First recorded Annual Outing was to Market Deeping in 1932 (the President paid for all the meals!)
• In 1950’s the Society were offered ownership of the fishing rights of the then Attenborough Gravels and the Trent but both were rejected.
• 200 chub to 5lb and 30 grayling to 1½ lb were stocked in to the Trent in 1960.
• By December 1962 over 40 applications for matches (1600 pegs) on the Trent at Long Eaton in 1963/64 season had been returned due to the water being fully booked
• In 1967 British Waterways Board were planning to close the Erewash Canal. LEVAS joined with other organizations and saved it.
• In 1968 the Erewash Canal downstream of Stanton was virtually wiped out by devastating cyanide pollution. The whole ecology was destroyed and it was only in the late 70’s when the Canal was again declared fit.
• In 1969 the Society joined the National Federation of Anglers in its own right. It had previously been affiliated via the Loughborough Soar A C since 1933.
• The RS Kirkland Trophy (for the Annual Outing) was presented by John and Jean Adams in memory of Jean’s father, Stan Kirkland, who was a real stalwart of the Society for some thirty years from 1938.
