This association has adopted the Angling Development Board's code of practice for Equality and Child Welfare.

We have achieved 'Clubmark'. Sport England's Clubmark is a cross-sport accreditation for sports clubs with junior sections in recognition of being a quality club.

In any sport, youngsters need the chance to learn, practice and showcase their skills.

We are a junior friendly angling club and encourage our future stars into the association. In recent years many clubs, including us, have been increasingly active in encouraging junior membership.

Our efforts have now taken a very big step forward with the introduction of the Fishing Days

Junior Coaching Sessions
(School summer holidays 2011)

These six summer holiday Tuesdays were well attended with 96 pegs being taken out of the 120 available.

The final Tuesday, 30 August, was a competition for all the youngsters who took part in the sessions and 17 attended. Fortunately, the rain held off for most of the days, the driest in the last four years that these sessions have been running.
