Have a look at Bennetts of Sheffield they are well established and do a mail order service.  Give them a ring, and ask their advice.

Hi I would join a club that has juniors,as they will have matches for them and adult anglers to look after them.Im retired and spend most summer days fishing,over the years i've looked after loads of kids.A good club will have anglers like me,prepared to keep an eye on them,in todays society you have to be careful but if you have a word with the baillif he should put you intouch with someone thats well known and safe to leave your lad with.A problem parents can have is if you have kids at different ages or a girl that isn't into fishing,once your lad gets the bug he will want to fish a lot in the school holidays,a nightmare trying to keep them all happy.your lad is to young to leave on his own,so if there is a responseable adult to keep an eye on him you can give him a pack lunch drop him off in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon which allows you to keep the other children happy,i hope this helps you.Good luck and take care.Roy

Check with your local Environment Agency as they do hold junior days down here where they get one to one tuition free. They also give away 'goodie bags' which sometimes has a free whip.

They are very good days so well worth checking out. A small pole is a good thing to start with then you are not having to learn too much at once and my son catches more than me when I float fish beside him.

Good luck
