Cranborne Primary School – Teach-in at Shepherds Way

Many thanks to Ron Karasavvas and Richard Drury who were both on hand to lead a teach-in for students from Cranborne Primary school at Shepherds Way on Friday 12th and 19th September. Under the expert tutelage of Ron Karasavvas and Richard Drury along with special thanks to all of our other anglers who were on hand to assist with children. All of the children had a great time and I am pleased to say that they caught plenty of fish. Who knows, a future BADAC fishing champion maybe amongst the happy attendees?
