The club was formed in 1949 by the late Jimmy Critchley and Arthur Dickinson. It was to be known as the ICI Weston Club Angling Section, and was a part of the ICI Recreation Club, and remained in this state for some 45 years. When the recreation club was sold to a private group in 1994, the fishing section decided also to go private. The name was changed to Weston Angling Club Runcorn, and the club set about raising funds so that Sandymoor Pool at least, could be bought outright. The club is now thriving, with around 500 members, and currently has access to two different waters.
