LETS FISH 2018
Three Locks Stoke Hammond weekend before last saw our last scheduled Canal and Rivers Trust ‘Lets Fish’ event of 2018, it was a resounding success with over 40 people of all ages coming to try fishing with us for the first time.
We had super weather, and all who came really enjoyed the experience in the sunshine, finding it very peaceful by the water. Many people had not experienced the Canalside environment before and found the general atmosphere with the boats, birds and trees extremely relaxing Several new Club memberships were sold, and nearly everyone who came caught fish, nice Perch, Bream and Roach showing well. It’s amazing how far people travel to come to our events, the furthest last week coming from Sutton in London, so our reputation is spreading fast!
This year the Club have run six events for CRT using three locations, and over 200 people have tried fishing with us. We also ran a special event for a Cub pack, which all who came enjoyed and the leaders thought went very well. We are always happy to do these special events given enough notice to organise the coaches and venues, so if you have a group that would like to give fishing a go please contact us, and we will see what we can do. Our Coaches also supported CRT events at Middleport, Tring, St Neots and Fobney Island near Reading, adding considerably to the total numbers introduced to fishing.
Next year we hope to be running more local events using additional venues to deliver this, and we have several coaches taking training courses funded by Sport England and the Angling Trust through the winter, so watch for next year’s program announcement. Our aim is also to provide an enhanced offer for our own Kingfisher members with coaching and some competitions.
A big thank you is due to all who have supported us this year, a special mention is due Browns Angling in Leighton Buzzard for their extremely generous bait sponsorship, and Amer Jawad of Rive UK for turning up and helping with coaching and giving us the material needed to elasticate our whips, and everyone else who has donated surplus tackle and accessories
We also of course need to thank all our own Club members, wives and friends who have helped with the booking in and all general administration tasks that need to be done to make the events run smoothly. Without this help we would not have been able to make this year a success. There are too many to individually name, but I’m sure you know who you are. We should also thank the ‘Guest’ coaches from Milton Keynes, Tring and further afield who have assisted us this year, without their generous help and working in partnership with these Clubs and individuals we could not have delivered the results, so a big thank you everyone.
