Well the last casting clinic of the year has come and gone with a bang. We had a very good bunch from 9yrs old to 60 plus of men and women, a very good time was had by all. A big thanks to Mark Thill for bringing everything and setting up the target cones and the hoops and the rods and reels from the club for everyone to use and to all the members who came to help out. I am looking forward to next year and getting more people into the sport.
