Dave Padgham, the much loved bailiff of Conningbrook, sadly died recently and just before he passed away he had an idea to start up a library of fishing books so that young anglers in particular could get access to them.

After his sad loss , his son Elliot has taken it upon himself to see his dads idea come to fruition and has arranged with Chris Logsdon of Mid Kent Fisheries to host the library within their head office building at Chilham Mill.

the books will be available to withdraw,as with any normal library but a small 'rental' fee will be administered per week and also a huge late return penalty fee. unfortunately at the moment the library will only be available to members of MKF due to keeping track of the books and issues with data protection with peoples names,addresses etc but all monies collected will benefit Elliot's chosen charity which I believe will be for melanoma research, as it was the terrible disease that took the life of his dad.

We are not looking for expensive 1st editions or rare articals (although they have been offered ) but just general fishing related books that might be gathering dust that you wouldn't mind donating to this great cause or any of you guys that have a spare copy of your recently published books (  )


please send any books to:

The Dave Padgham Library
