The Wyvern were very pleased with this turn out.
The evening started with a short talk on the work being carried out in Lyme Bay Marine Reserve by Neville Copperthwaite of the group ‘Blue’.
This reserve has been in operation for around five years and some say that this might be how the new MCZ will operate in the future.
This was followed by the main awards plus all the fish of the month awards from last year.
