“The FFE Ladies Fishing Club has had a fantastic fishing season and we would like to thank all of those venues that we have visited including Sweethope Lough, Chatton Trout Fishery, Whinney Loch, Witton Castle Lakes and Higham Lakes.
“I would also like to personally thank the ladies themselves for all of their help and support for without them, the Club would not be running. I am very excited about the coming year ahead and feel that we have a great Committee that will lead the Club onto bigger and better things in the coming years.”
