Congratulations, Nica Prichard MBE
Congratulations to Nica Prichard, Welsh lady flyfisher and stalwart member of the Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland team, who has been made an MBE in the New Year's Honours list for services to angling and the environment.This is a very well deserved award for Nica, who has been on several Casting for Recovery retreats and is as well known for her jokes as for her excellent casting tuition and support for participants. Nica has been fishing since she was three and is as passionate and enthusiastic about it now - aged 70 - as she ever was. Nica has said of her award "I am proud to have received this award and to still be useful in my old age".
Nica will be at CfR retreats again in 2009 - ladies interested in coming on a retreat - seven will be held across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in 2009 - can apply online here.
