Sunday 24th April 2011 - 4th Cygnets Meeting & Club Outing to Swanswater
Today was the 4th Cygnets meeting of the 2011 season and the first club outing of the season for the more experienced Cygnets to the main Swanswater. It was a pleasant morning, sun was shining, no wind, still a bit cool but did get warm as the day progressed. It was an early start for the Cygnets today.
The less experienced Cygnets started the morning off having casting tuition from Cygnets Professional Casting Instructor Thomas Anderson on the grass, beside the Mill Pond.
