Clearwater Anglers, supported by Inspire Wellbeing, is hosting a free indoor introduction to fishing:

Friday 23 October 2026
2pm–4pm
Dungannon Leisure Centre
Open to anyone aged 18 or over

Our coaches will guide participants through enjoyable, hands-on fishing activities in a relaxed and welcoming setting. No previous fishing experience is needed, and all equipment is provided.

The afternoon is as much about company and conversation as learning about fishing—a chance to take a break from everyday pressures, unwind and enjoy time with others. People are welcome to come on their own, with a friend or as part of a group.

Could you please share/display the attached poster with anyone who might enjoy or benefit from attending?

Participants can book using the QR code on the poster, or simply turn up on the day.

If you would like to discuss bringing a group or any individual support needs, please reply to this email or call me on 07779333210.
