Fish 4 Kidz 2016, Eastbourne Children's Angling Event - the planning starts here :)

The organising Committee of Fish 4 Kidz had a get together recently to highlight that this FREE children's beach angling event will be returning for it's FOURTH year in 2016.

This popular annual children's fishing competition was founded by Steve Frost of Eastbourne Nomads Angling Club, and involves close collaboration between local angling clubs, fishing tackle shops, and the RNLI. As an event close to his heart, Stephen Lloyd continues to offer his support as Patron.

Each Fish 4 Kidz event has boasted attendance by up to 80 budding sea anglers (between the ages of 5 and 16) who have fished off Eastbourne beaches for the day, under guidance from experienced anglers volunteering their time as Stewards. These events have proved a huge success with children and help to safeguard the future of our sport.

Keep an eye out for further news, as plans for Fish 4 Kidz 2016 begin to unfold.
