Daiwa Global Communities Celebration 19th October 2024

Would you be proud to represent your country of your heritage in fishing? The Daiwa Global Communities Celebration is coming to the West Midlands. To represent any overseas community, in the October celebration, we are keen to hear from young people who can trace their ancestry (parents, grandparents or great grandparents) back to any of the countries on the globe.

Should you have connections with any country other than England, register your interest now by contacting mailto:john.ellis@canalrivertr ust.org.uk with your name, date of birth and the name of the country of ancestral origin.

Priority for participation will be given to those who attend the National celebration of Young People and Fishing.

National Celebration of young people and fishing

Each year, we hold a national celebration event open to all keen young anglers including all Let’s Fish participants aged between 7 & 20. It’s an experience that any young person should try at least once in their fishing journey.
