Waterbeach Angling Club was formed in June 1936, by a party of local anglers meeting on the river bank. Then known as 'The Beach Angling Club', the intention was to protect local angling interests against the big clubs from Cambridge, London and Birmingham. Since then, the club has maintained many of these waters and added others, notably a stretch of the Old West with a series of adjoining 'lagoons' at Stretham and Leland Water just off the Waterbeach to Landbeach Road including Atkin's Water and Magpie Lake, and Hatley's Junior Pit in Landbeach.The club celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1986 and 25 years later we are celebrated our 75th anniversary in 2011.
