The bailiff was very helpful with…

The bailiff was very helpful with setting up my son and his friend. they came a bit under prepared but the bailiff sorted them out. all though they didnt catch anything they learnt a lot.
The only bad thing I have to say is that a differnt email has to be entered for each person fishing, is there a reason why when one adult is bringing 2 children?
