Hi Dave,
I don't think you could call this a breakaway club. Despite my
tongue in cheek remarks about poaching, it is a genune attempt to
get a group of people together who are interested in the various
methods of fishing by Coracle. Coracle fishing is now nearly extinct
in the UK. To keep it alive it needs people to research and practise
it.
Can I have chocolate rather than Dundee?
