Tuesday 21st July saw my first day of coaching of the summer holidays and I had two more full days that week. I had forgotten how hard intensive coaching can be and by the end of the week I was shattered. Lee Blundell was unavailable on the second day but Barry Smith from our curry club stepped in to help. He was a bit worried about not being a good enough angler to coach but his communication and people handling skills (he was an Inspector in the Metropolitan Police before retirement) more than made up for his lack of experience.
The third day was at Frobury Fishery with a group from Connexions at Reading. These lads had a great time and caught lots of small carp and tench. I had the opportunity to meet Tom Woolmer the key worker who I had only spoken to by ‘phone and email.
