 Rhayader & Elan Valley Angling Assoc. welcomed the âCasting for Recoveryâ ladies to Llyngwyn
Club members Bryn Jones, Barry Thomas, Steve Thomas, Dale Fowkes, Paul Metcalf, Roger Lewis and Alan Lewis welcomed the ladies to Llyngwyn and acted as instructors on Sunday 13th April. Pauline and Juliana served hot drinks and welsh cakes at the lakeside for all participants ⦠an excellent day, enjoyed by all.
INNOVATIVE BREAST CANCER ANGLING INITIATIVE ARRIVES IN WALES
Fourteen brave ladies (and Molly â" the spaniel mascot) enjoyed a weekend Fly-Fishing Retreat at Caer Beris Manor Hotel, Builth Wells, and at Llyngwyn from 11th â" 13th April at the first ever Casting for Recovery event to be held in Wales.
Casting for Recovery, a unique outdoor based programme, specifically designed for women who have, or have had, breast cancer, provides Fly Fishing programmes at idyllic retreats around the UK and Ireland. Fly Fishing offers proven benefits for recovering breast cancer patients. The casting action provides the gentle exercise recommended by physiotherapists for joint and soft tissue mobility.
The Caer Beris retreat was only the third to be held in the UK and first of its kind in Wales, and attracted several Welsh participants, who were instructed by members of the Welsh Ladies Fly Fishing team and members of the Rhayader and Elan Valley Angling Association. Local MP Roger Williams also came along to wish the participants well as they went fishing for the first time at Llyngwyn fishery near Rhayader.
Another Welsh retreat will be announced soon. For more information contact Sue Hunter on info@castingforrecovery.org.uk or write to P.O. Box 3611, Slough, Berkshire, SL3 3BY or see their website www.castingforrecovery.org.uk |

 It is with great sadness that we have to announce the sudden death of Ray Chaplin last week. Ray was a staunch member of the Rhayader and Elan Valley Angling Association for many years, being elected a committee member in 1998. Ray was an active member of the Association helping out where-ever needed. Ray represented Wales in the European Championships at Dreux, France in 1996.
The Association sends its deepest sympathy to his wife, Jean and son Richard, and all the family.
Rays smiling face will be greatly missed by all. |

It is with deep regret that we announce the recent passing away of Mr Howard Roberts on December 24th 2007.
Howard was elected secretary of the Rhayader Angling Association in 1954 and has been a dedicated committee member ever since. As well as secretary, one of Howards main interests was conservation, both for his own club and for angling in general.
The Rhayader and Elan Valley Angling Association send their deepest sympathy to his wife Beryl and all the family.
Howard will be greatly missed by all. |
