:) Hope this Is O.K Mods! :)

I’m after some help from some of you guy’s.

I am a governor for a Surrey Primary School, we have a large number of pupils who are from a socially disturbed background some with educational and behavioural difficulties.

My aim is to teach small groups of about twelve children aged 9-12 and hopefully give them break from there problems and give them a pastime that they will enjoy as I have maybe even for life.

The sessions will be on a Saturday for about six hours in duration about twice a month starting in mid May. The aim is to teach the children the basics of angling including safety issue’s and countryside awareness in a classroom as an after school activity and then progress to a local venue to allow them to put into practice what they have learnt.

As far as we are aware this is the first school to teach angling as an out of hours learning activity, The Aim is to extend the project to other local schools within the Surrey area and possibly build up a selection of tackle that can be kept in a central location for all to use.

I have approached a couple of large tackle companies to see if any would consider sponsoring a project of this type.

So if you would like to get involved and lend a hand with this worth while project as a volunteer to teach or have any old tackle lurking in a garage or shed that is no longer of use to you and you would like to donate it to a very worthy cause please get in touch. Any help you could give would be genuinely appreciated by the school the children and myself.

I’m sure most of you can still remember that first tiny roach or gudgeon that you caught as a kid and the magical feeling that gave you, wouldn’t it be nice to help someone experience that and maybe create another life long angler.

Thanks for your time in reading this and feel free to get in touch should you wish to help or for more info.

Joe, this post is absolutely fine :) If I lived in the Surrey area I could have helped out myself, but I'm afraid Yorkshire is a bit too far away to commute. Best wishes with your venture though :)

 

Take care

Joe I suggest you make contact with the Professional Anglers Association, they have qualified angling coaches in your region.

The only problem with useing PAA coaches is that they want to charge,which is fair enough as there in it as a buisness,and unfortunatly there just is not the money in the school's budget to pay for out of hours learning activities,I am in the process of trying to get on the NFA coaching course.
