Liberal Sea Angling

This odd sign is in the window of Arnold Liberal Club in the suburbs of Nottingham:

"Arnold Liberal Sea Angling Club"

It is the specifics of it that make it weird. The idea that Arnold, a town almost as inland as you can get, would have enough demand for a sea angling club is remarkable, as is the idea that there are several different sea angling clubs in the Nottingham area—but, the sign goes on to suggest that not only is there one sea angling club in this town of 30,000 people, but that there are several such clubs, divided on political lines.
