Kids get hooked at Thorne

There were fishy goings-on down at Thorne this week as youngsters were reeled in for some fishing action.

The event sponsored by St. Leger Homes of Doncaster attracted kids from around the area along with the help of the Thorne and District Angling Association.

There have been a number of fishing competitions, with the remaining session and winner presentation being held on 26 August.

The fishing events are part of the Positive Activities programme which aims to help keep youngsters active and occupied over the summer break.

Suzanne Crawley from St. Leger Homes helped organise the events: “The Delves Ponds here at Thorne are beautiful - the kids can get some fresh air in a nice, safe environment. The two lakes are packed with different fish and the kids are really enjoying the thrill of the competition – it gives them something to look forward to each week.”

Kevin Cowan was there with his son Dominic (9): “The events are great for the kids and keeps them busy so it is ideal for over the six weeks holidays. Dominic was the winner of last week’s event so we are hoping to win again this week.”
