By Young People for Young People

We are building this club from the ground up and the members will be the guides on how far it can go. Over the next few months we will build a basis for the club including rules and guidelines for members to follow. Develop educational workshops on ideas they develop and work with them to guide the direction. It will be a collaboration and we are excited to see where it will lead! 

When & Where

Every Monday at the Game Park young people are welcome to come along from 3pm-4.30, check it out and find out more and fishing will be available in the large pond, BYO gear. We'll aim to have a formal workshop at least once a month. Staff will be on hand to offer advise and guidance. All members must have a current fishing licence to fish the ponds.  

Our first meeting and ideas session will be Monday 19th May from 3.30pm where we'll work through some ideas for the club.
