County Angling Action Groups (CAAGs)- what role will they play in developing young people's opportunities?
Submitted by Natalie on Fri, 02/07/2010 - 14:26One of the key features of the Angling Development Board’s development strategy is the introduction of County Angling Action Groups (CAAGs). But what is it that they do? And what impact are the likely to have on developing young people’s angling opportunities?
I decided to visit two CAAGs to find out what was involved.

Submitted by Natalie on Mon, 17/05/2010 - 17:21CAST project in Nottingham is part of the Future Newstead community group that has just been chosen to take part in Village SOS. They competed with communities across the UK to gain funds to transform an old spoil heap created by the former colliery into a sustainable, eco-sensitive Country Park that will improve local quality of life. Central to the plans will be the development of a fishing venue and education centre.
