Children aged 10-12 are able to attend, the cost each session is 5.

These sessions are funded by the Environment Agency and all staff are CRB checked and qualified.

Director Roy Masters commented: '' Fishing courses during the summer were very popular with young people who had never fished before, learning the basics and having a great time.

"Everyone caught fish and enjoyed the environment and just being outdoors and having fun.''
