Did you know angling is the most popular sport in the UK – come rain or shine river banks are frequently dotted with green umbrellas shading or sheltering the keen fisherman underneath.  If you are aged between 12 and 16, and would like to learn more about this pastime and pick up hints and tips from experienced coaches, then read on.

There will be five sessions for budding young anglers at Barford Road Pocket Park and two sessions at Hinchingbrooke Country Park with a Match Day at Barford Road Pocket Park on Friday 24th August.

Sessions at Barford Road Pocket Park will take place from 10am to 2pm, every Friday from 25 July to 22 August, with Match Day on 29th August.  We will meet at 10am in the back car park of St Neots Leisure Centre.
