When I founded in early 2007 "Nostalgic Sagarra, right in this day marks the fourth birthday, he did not know where could bring this initiative. My purpose was rather to provide the entire world through internet documents and information transmitted Manel Llorens me to perform for the magazine reports Pescamar, because to my surprise there was nothing else in the Web ad sales old reels. Soon they were appearing fans to discover the existence This page, now great friends of mine, who encouraged me to pursue this task to return from this cyber ocean is our great brand online English Sagar reel pride of place that certainly deserves no discussion no history fishing.
As many already know, my well-beloved and now deceased uncle, Rafael and his son, my cousin John worked at the factory. In my mind and memory have been steeped for ever the words of my missing father also told me more than once: "My son, Sagar is the only manufacturer of reels of Spain" ... José the then teenager Luis Lago those words seemed rather large, a huge fact that a small town like mine, Sitges, was the only driver of such an important activity. Left dedicated to them, my parents my work and my satisfaction nostalgically attached to many collectors around my blog.
why I dedicate this great day in which this blog has provided a grain of sand in the seal of the association to my father every year oiling reels on the balcony while not go fishing for his heart problems . Of course, my great uncle Rafael angler from shore. But how could it be otherwise, especially Don Manel Llorens and as the deceased sr. Isidro Llorens Sagarra that I did not know in person, but surely I passed thousands of times on my bike BH when I was little, walking through the narrow streets of Sitges. This has been the most sentimental of this heartfelt letter to these events, but certainly the players are you: my good and great friends I've been doing this based on web and collecting.
also a salute to our readers anonymous collectors some of them hiding in the closet to which I invite you to take part in this initiative and partner in the Partnership, a full-fledged club. The more the merrier, the better we can meet future challenges. What are these words that sound like a tribute? For without doubt today, after the birth of the Association attended a great day, great, because Sagarra secures a spot in history, continuing with our union and drive. We, and nobody should doubt that we are part of the heritage of this factory which shut down its machines in 1995, for preserving and disseminating our collection, we show the world that these pots have a soul.
We have shown and transmitted to these reports, your staff or comments that are not junk to throw, but a heritage to preserve and even in the odd case can have a value. If we were not united and partners, if there were not this blog or my articles, in a few years all the old reels would already be in a landfill or in a dusty trunk waiting to be disposed of in a while, but "four Dukes' that can they had no connection to each other.
Our challenge is for the future, hopefully within a few years we are recognized as pioneers young collectors! We are, as ever since I put in an article about this blog half joking, half serious: GUARDIANS OF THE SAGARRA. What was taken as something nice, a cliché with humorous intent, now has authority, power and meaning. And like any fraternity, and needed a signature from the treaty, which has finally become a reality on that historic day in the house of Pedro de la Sen.
This partnership will certainly not have been born without the drive and strength of Pedro de la Sen. My words are here in recognition of his determination, an idea that has been long insists, not without jamming, doubts even evasive, for it has had to convince them one by one to collectors. I also think that is a high honor for a person with experience as Enric Father, with his brilliant book on the history of fishing reels scholar as anyone should be President. I think it's ideal person to occupy a position that gives more authority and Distinctions in this world. Told me that it will lead to the bone to be born with serious and projection.
From now on, and the prospect of the future, already has a corner collecting through this new partnership in which everyone can participate and be part of it. While most of us are fishermen and fishing enthusiasts, it also opens a way for lovers of old junk, antiques or just what is ours, the "MADE IN SPAIN". Open a memory of what can not come back in our country: a English industry fishing reels by national workers to fill the shop windows of fishing not only products made elsewhere in Asia.
Therein lies the future of the association: to preserve our patronymic, defend what is ours, to promote activities, studies ... in short, be creating a hobby, generating good vibes, help to find a piece ... in short, a hobby club, but also of friendship and exchange as it is being so far in private circles. There is much work to do, that great day in Valencia served to seal the writing of the project, but there are still the foundation of the building structure, roof ... but it certainly opens up a much better future, a collective showcase any collector, while cleaning your reels alone in his cellar thought a few years ago before it was this blog.
Finally, I thank the signatories to appoint honorary member of my modest contribution to this world. It is a pride and a reason to continue fighting in this work that for me has always been altruistic. You know that you can count on me and this blog for further growth. As always, I invite everyone to post comments, I think this day deserves.
JOSÉ LUIS LAKE
FOUNDER OF NOSTALGIC SAGARRA
