John Horsey reports on his Blog that Chew Valley was hit by vandals who destroyed 5 boats recently.

The 2nd session of Chew Valley Pike Trials were marred by vandals who set fire to some of the boats on Sunday evening, causing over £25,000 of damage.

Six boats and 5 outboard engines were totally ruined by this senseless act of vanalism. Thankfully, a visiting pike angler spotted the fire and called the fire brigade, otherwise the result could have been catastrophic.
