Our club has started on a project to improve the flooding and access to and around our pond, install both recycled plastic fishing platforms and TWO dipping ponds for the local schools to use. On completion of this the second phase of encouraging the youngsters and schools to participate will commence. The dipping platforms will allow study of the natural pond life and the three large angling platforms will allow tuition of both youngsters and adults to participate in angling.
Why the community needs usYoungsters will be taught a skill, adults will learn a new skill, less able personnel will have access to the most popular participated pastime in country. All will learn to appreciate their surroundings in turn looking after the environment and at the same time getting plenty of fresh air. The younger people will benefit in other ways by giving them a chance to get away from the street environment culture. Photos show pond at commencement of project as of 1st March 2013.
Our impact on the communityWhen our current project is finished we will be able to offer schools and young children the facilities available. Expected completion is Sept 2013. We are looking at getting some members qualified to become coaches and will work with existing ones through other clubs and the get hooked on fishing project personnel
