Sitting down at last after a busy few days having started last Wednesday, setting up the field for our Pass It On Scotland taster day at Hoddom Castle. We were delighted to welcome around 300 visitors with 200 youngsters taking part in our activities.
There are so many people who played their part in making this such a special day but huge thanks have to go to our hosts, George Birkbeck of Hoddom and Kinmount Estates, Hoddom Castle Caravan Park, and farm manager James.
Our reception team, Christine, Max, Claire Martindale , Bahy, Phil and John.
Special thanks to Angela Dodd McKillop who always does so much behind the scenes that no-one ever sees but that are essential to the smooth running of the day.
And of course our sponsors, R.H. Irving Construction, GMK Ltd, Hicmicro, David Stutley and Gretna Green
We were delighted to be able to make donations to two of our exhibitors this year, Β£250 to Nith Inshore Rescue who do such a fantastic job and also Β£250 to the Scottish Youth Fly Fishing Team.
A notable highlight of our event this year was the discovery of a brilliant young lady fly caster who was spotted by team manager James Litster. We look forward to seeing her in the team very shortly. π£π£π£
