Dean was a truly wonderful guy, always happy, always smiling, so generous and so inspiringly positive right to the end. A real gentleman and someone I\u2019ll dearly miss seeing on the bank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The memorial match is on Dean\u2019s beloved River Avon at Evesham. A historic venue that\u2019s full of great memories and can always throw up a surprise fish or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To book on and pay your respects, you can book on via the Angling page on the Hampton Ferry website. I will pop a link in the comments. This match is also a qualifier for the prestigious three-day Evesham Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully see you there! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"8650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dean-hancox-evesham-bream.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dean-hancox-evesham-bream.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dean-hancox-evesham-bream-234x300.jpg 234w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-5.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-5-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"478\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-4.jpg 478w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-4-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-1.jpg 529w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dean-hancox-1-248x300.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This coming Sunday 26th July is the inaugural Dean Hancox Memorial Match.
