We had four guys from the FitzRoy Charity (Fekenham) come along for a 2 hour taster session on Thursday.  Was a great session which I enjoyed nearly as much as them! 

Kevin from the charity wrote some comments below:

 What a great day.  FitzRoy a charity working to transform the lives of people with learning disabilities, helping them live more independently at home and in the community, visited the brilliant Barford Lakes.

Four of our members Perry, Danny, Chris and Tom anjoyed a bespoke training session with Sarah, with just the right amount of training followed by a fabulous fishing experience on Barford's Training Lake.

After a morning session teaching the basics and catching roach, perch, gudgeon, crucian carp, rudd, skimmer bream and even an a slimey eel, we had a health packed lunch then back to the lake where they all caught big fish, the shreeks of joy could be heard all over Barford.

Everyone including the support staff Andy and Kevin had an amazing day and by the time we returned to the day centre the fishing tails had already started. 

I would thoroughly recomend 'an experience' at Barford Lakes as a learing and sensory activity and would like to thank Sarah and Jack for making everyones day very special.

Hope to come back soon.  Kevin and Andy Support Workers Fitzroy, Fakenham, Norfolk.
