COACHING

Martin Gains Level Two Award

Having gained his starter and level one Cast awards in 2017 and 2018, Martin Doncaster continues to advance his angling skills.  Now he has excelled himself and gained his level two certificate under the watchful eye of Poringland Lakes’ coaches Mark Casto and Mick Morley.
To gain his certificate Martin has taken part in a total of 27 two hour coaching lessons covering all aspects of angling skills from beginner to advanced. His carer Adam Hollings has been very impressed by Martin’s progress and agreed with his coach that Martin is now ready to move on to level three.
Martin is to be congratulated for his remarkable achievement and for his determination and enthusiasm to work towards these awards. He was very proud to receive his level two certificate today awarded to him by his coach and support workers Belinda Seily (manager) and Adam Hollings, his carer, both of whom were full of praise for all the hard work he has put in to reach level two.
Coach Casto had this to say: “I have spent over ten years coaching many individuals but have to say working with Martin has really been a pleasure and an eye opener. Martin has surprised us all and shown everyone who knows him just how dedicated and focused he is.  It has been my great pleasure to help him gain these qualifications and improve his angling skills.
So now it’s onwards and upwards for Martin as he sets his sights on gaining his level three certificate. Well done Martin!

Coaching feedback from Corinne and her boys



Dear Mark, 


Thank you so much for this morning’s fishing course. Tom and Daniel loved every minute of it and could have gone on much longer!

It’s a pity that Daniel lives so far away and not able to benefit from more instruction but if he comes to stay again I know he will want to come again. In the meantime, both boys will put into practice what they learnt today.


Best wishes,
Corinne Boyce



I love it when a young family come along for a coaching session and really enjoy there fishing session its a real pleasure to see the happy faces and its a great family day for everyone
