Access boosted by grant

A GRANT of £7,000 has been awarded to Todmorden Angling Society by the Crook Hill Community Benefit Fund. It will enable the Society to vastly improve the accessability of facilities at Croft and Town House Fisheries.

Access will be improved to both waters and all fishing platforms will be replaced by recycled plastic platforms including two disabled and one ‘Parent and Child’ on each water.

The local Angling Community are very grateful for this grant and wish to thank all concerned.

‘Taster’ sessions/ Family Fun Days will be held at our Ramsden Wood Fishery on Sundays July 8th and 22nd. Just come along -all fishing tackle ,bait and coaching is free. Bring your own tackle if you wish – 10am until 3pm.
