The excursion was fantastic. All the children participated in the activity by the end of
the day - including those who said they didn't want to at the start of the day. The tuition
from Mel was spot on and most of the children were casting their own lines by the end
of the day. In fact we had a few who didn't want to go home and it was some effort for
our staff to get them to give the rods back. It helped a little that there were two rods
given as prizes.
The only suggestions we would have specific to our group is a later start time - we had
quite a way to travel to get to Putney and therefore arrived later the planned; and having
a smaller group doing the target practice (some lost interest very quickly due to the
younger ages in our group).
All of this is specific to our group and we thought all of the helpers on the day were
wonderful. We all felt safe and Thanks for a great day and inspiring our group to go
fishing more often. And the children are still wearing the fishing caps from the goodie
bags.
Thanks again for everything
Just a short note to say thanks for Saturday.
Todd & Mel were great. The kids had a great time.
James was pleased that Todd helped him get the catfish.
