MoD families get hooked with Staffs Youth Anglers |
Up to twenty families will be getting hooked on fishing this summer with Staffordshire Youth Anglers who are holding a series of sessions for servicemen from MoD Stafford and Lichfield barracks and their sons/daughters.
The sessions got underway with a fun family farm and fishing day hosted at Upper Moreton Farm when the children pulled wellies on and enjoyed a great farm visit. They were introduced to whole host of farm animals, many of which are rare breeds, led the goats out to their paddock and collected eggs - some of which were still warm.
This was followed by fishing, which everyone enjoyed and caught a range of different fish, including gudgeon, carp, roach and perch. The sessions were the idea of Brad Parkes, Chairman of Staffordshire Youth Anglers and Level 2 coach, and have been supported by Weston Road C&LP and the MoD. He comments: "It is a great opportunity to be involved with this group of families and it has been a real team effort to get it up and running.
We have had two really great sessions so far and I'm looking forward to introducing everyone to angling. It's such a great sport for families to share and gives them some quality time together".
The coaching team supporting the session includes Level 2 coaches Brad, Nigel Kuhn and Phil Davis and youth coaches Seb Parkes and Chris Davis.

Free 'Try It' fishing sessions at Youth Anglers Open Day
Young people are invited to try fishing for free at this year's Open Day hosted by Staffordshire Youth Anglers on Saturday 7th May, 10.30 - 3.30 pm at Carney Pools, Bishton Lane, Stafford ST18 0XD.
As well as some great fishing there will also be a BBQ selling burgers and hot dogs - all with local farmers produce - a wet sponge stall, raffle, tombolla, cake stall, bargain tackle and 'spin the wheel'. Those looking for a bit of excitement can take part in the casting competition, or the bait boat race.
There will be pond dipping in the club's Railway Meadow Wildlife Ponds too.
Everyone is welcome and the event will help to raise valuable funds which will keep the club running, so please come along and enjoy the day.
