Three young people were rewarded for their success in the Warsop fishing competition with a prize giving at Warsop Fire Station. The ceremony took place on the 18 August to present the winners with trophies and fishing equipment for their achievements in the competition which took place on the 29 July, 5 August and 12 August. The overall winner was Bobby Gray and runner up was Cameron Cross. Adam Reeves won the prize for catching the biggest fish. The competition was organised by Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, Mansfield District Council’s Neighbourhood Wardens and Nottinghamshire Police. It was designed to help reduce anti-social behaviour by providing activities for young people living in Warsop and surrounding areas. The event has also helped to build healthy relationships between the organisers and young people in Warsop. Around 25 young people attended each day and have all been invited to attend any future events |
