The Festive Season Dec 2020
Dear All
It is usual at this time of year for lots of words of well wishing to stay healthy and happy and thankfully that has not changed but has been emphasised to a greater degree with if possible greater feeling.
I am just happy to be able to wish you all a safe and healthy Xmas period and my sincere best thoughts at this time hoping you have a virus free 2021.
We have all come through this trying time encountering difficulties of one sort or another but the selfless humanitarian and heroic acts of front line workers and volunteers caring for so many of our less fortunate men, women and families has set a shining example around the world.
Like many FFF has been in a state of Limbo since Covid began where our group events, fundraising and participation of other causes is concerned. That said we have helped a few get to the waterside when restrictions were eased and we also have been involved in a small way by helping to form a coarse fishing club for a group of veterans.
They have chosen the name of “Respite Angling” under the guidance of Peter Biggs who has worked tirelessly to get the club off the ground. They have already had a group day out (distancing closely adhered to) courtesy of Barnes Piscatorial Society and were treated to a Bacon & Bangers breakfast and lunch as well. Two more FOC days at my friends carp lakes with lunch included are planned for 2021 so they are off to a great start.
FFF will be ready once we get the green light for group events and we will be almost starting from scratch so I would ask all Friends, Mentors, Sponsors and those wishing to donate time ,tackle, funds etc to contact me [email protected] to refresh your details and offers.
Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and deeds through 2020 it kept the fires and enthusiasm burning brightly through all the dark days.
Stay Safe, Stay well and please stay in touch.
My best you all, your families and friends and all who share your world.
