Parents were invited to stay and enjoy the fishing, The pier was closed on the day to the public, The Tabernacle Scout Troop joined in the PAKA coaching on the day.

SWANSEA WEST PIER CLEAN UP
A few volunteers carried out a major clean up of the West Pier. Sadly, a lot of the rubbish was discard from anglers which was classed as unsafe for our juniors to fish on. So the pier was given a good clean to set an example to other anglers. If anglers don't clean after fishing we shall lose the use of the venue.
