My local Hull/District AA actually do open days at their club waters and these are always well attended , the young uns come along and have a lesson and catch a few as well . I think that society today is massively busy , by that i mean not enough hours in the day , parents having to work overtime to get by , so sometimes they havent got time to take the kids fishing etc . My dad use to drive 20 miles at 7 am to drop me off at a pond , go to work ,then drive back at 5 pm , the only thing i had to do was make sure i had his rod set up for him then we would fish till 9.30 pm , nearly 80 miles in a day . That was over 25 years ago , how many parents could find the time , never mind the cost today
