Help needed please!

[Big Boab]

Hello everyone!
My wife has settled into her new job at a school in Stamford asa live in matron (with me in tow!!) and i am adjusting to life living in a school! (i spent years trying to get out of them )
Anyway,the boys here range in age from 10-15 years old and i have got an active interest going amongst them regarding fly fishing
I am quite pleased that i have got 11 boys so far who are showing signs of obsessive behaviour regarding fly fishing
Anyway,I have started a fly tying class once a week and hopefully the plan is to get them out fishing at least once a month to Rutland water as well as casting lessons from trained professonals.
I will be assisted by a couple of teachers in the classes, who are also showing a keen intrest as well!
Just to clarify a few things,
I live in the school as my wife is matron there,so i have been vetted.
The school is insured in case of any unfortunate accidents,which i hope doesn't happen in any way shape or form.
There will also be at least 2 teachers present at all times and that number will increase if the numbers do so.
Stamford boarding school caters for mostly armed forces kids.
Usually the parents are posted abroad with 1 or both doing their duty for Queen and country.
During the week nights they get bored and through talking to them my obsession with fishing has caught their imagination,no bad thing either as far as i am concerned!
Anyway i thought that i would ease their boredom and introduce fly tying classes and hopefully get some lessons in to teach them the craft of fly fishing.
I am also very hopeful of getting some members from the RWFF club to getting involved in some small way.
At the end of the day i feel it's important to get the youngsters involved in the sport in some shape or form, if only to take their minds off of the serious matter of their parent/parents doing their duty in the Middle East.
I hope that this clarifies the subject a little more.

Here is where i am asking for your help!
Do you have any surplus materials especially old tools and vices lying around that may come in handy for the kids?
Anything would be more than welcome and greatly appreciated

Thank you in advance and if you have any further questions regarding this issue then please feel free to pm me and i will answer any queries you may have.

Thanks
Robert

First of all a big thank you to all who have sent materials and tools, so far the boys are really appreciating it!!
So far the classes have been doing well and surprise surprise the are the quietest i've heard them
They are all really enjoying the experience with some of the younger ones surprisingly doing very well!
Hopefully i will get some casting lessons booked at Rutland Water soon.
Again on behalf of the boys a big thank you
Cheers
Robert
