NEW MEMBERS OF STAFF WANTED

As the arrival of my new baby is due on April 1st, I am looking for one or two people to help with the work at Tavistock Trout Fishery.

Firstly I am looking for someone to help on a part time basis with the feeding of the fish, strimming of the banks, cleaning of the screens, serving the anglers and general fishery maintenance etc.  I would also like the successful applicant to undertake basic maintenance of my holiday cotteges here at the Fishery.  Hours depend on weather and time of year.  Wage negotiable depending on experience.

Secondly I am looking for someone to look after the anglers on the occasional Summer evening.  This involves weighing their catch out, before they leave and recording the information on Fishery return cards.

All applicants should ring Abigail on 07970 608890.  Many thanks.
