Progress report on Whyvern house junior fishing:
The pool has now been given a very thorough cleaning with some 80 bin liners
of material removed from the water, this included weed and a various
assortment of bikes, road signs and other assorted scrap.
The members taking part worked for 4 hours and are to be congratulated for
their efforts in the cleaning the pool, it would be unfair to name any one person.
The group of 8 members taking part all worked very hard.
The open day is on the 15th May in conjunction with Northwich, the EA have
arranged for a "grade 2"coach to allow newcomers to have a "taster session"
on the new landing stages.
The rules governing the new pegs will be drawn up with the Council, WDAA
officials and the EA.
The EA provided the finance to build the platforms the cost was £9.500 pounds.
The scheme has been awarded a platinum award. One of only three in the country.
The award is given by the British Disabled Angling Association for accessibility
and facilities available to disabled anglers.
The Council have also agreed to give free swimming lessons to junior members
and the use of toilet facilities at the Lifestyle Centre.
We are looking for junior members to take part in fishing matches against
Northwich in the summer with junior events taking place during holiday periods
the main idea is to promote angling and junior angling in particular.
We have been given £500 pounds from one of the schemes Jo Comere.
The regeneration officer has arranged the funding, it is to be spent to promote
junior angling and local business.
We have ordered some goody bagsto be given to juniors on the open day.
