F.P.S was formed in 1937 by a group of eight anglers who were fishing Blenheim Pits which is now known as BlenheimPark. Within a couple of months the membership increased to thirty anglers.
Matches in those early days were fished from 8am to 8pm with time taken off to go home for Sunday lunch. F.P.S entered teams into Middlesex and Surrey leagues and won these on a regular basis.
Over the years the club negotiated leases to fish a number of local waters many of which were either lost to building development or given up due to difficulties in managing them.
Prudent management of the society's finances eventually allowed them to purchase the fishing rights on a stretch of the River Kennet. This was followed by the acquisition of a lake in Sunbury, which is now our most popular venue and which has been developed into two lakes on the site. The lake is named after the society's Chairman, Albert Sivyer, who retired from the position in 2007 having served on the club committee for fifty eight years, thirty eight as Chairman.
F.P.S is now thriving society with a current membership of over 900. Adult male membership is restricted to 750 and there is a waiting list for new members wishing to join the society.
