East Kent Branch of the Masonic Fishing Charity aims to provide a countryside fishing experience for people with “Special Needs”

Many of us grew up in the 1960s and 70s where, for some, it was a time of making out a living repairing cars, exterminating pests or hop picking. Boys were taught to fish by their fathers during the weekends, cast after cast plopping into willow-shaded water, while weekdays were spent at the secondary school where, for some, gardening and metalwork were still being taught. Fishing is an unsentimental memoir of that time and nothing has changed for those boys today. As adults they continue to carry out the traditions of fishing as taught by their fathers and pass this knowledge on to the children who have a love for the sport.
