Five girls from Langwith Basset Primary School have been ‘hooked’ by the fishing bug as they took up the challenge of the Kingfisher Award run by Bolsover District Council.
The girls, Keely Smith, Diona Winson, Emily White Abbie Over and Leza Rovssow, really enjoyed the course which involved learning the basic principles of fishing in the school classroom, before taking part in the ‘reel thing’ were they put what they had learnt into practice at Shirebrook Town Pond.
The girls were presented with their NFA certificate and NFA Kingfisher Badge and Get Hooked on Bolsover Coaching Scheme medal by the Chairman of the Council, Councillor Ken Walker
Speaking at the ceremony, Councillor Walker said, “It was really pleasing to see the girls taking part in the sport and we want to encourage as many as possible to join in. The courses are good fun and very educational and even I have learnt a thing or two from the children.”
These five young girls really enjoyed taking part in the Kingfisher Award and they were really surprised when they went fishing and caught some big fish. Then head of the school would like to follow on to the next stage so they can get some more rewards.
All the certificates and badges were provided by the National Federation of Anglers (NFA). For further information on fishing courses held by the Council please contact Alan Hayes on 01246 242321 or email enquiries@bolsover.gov.uk
