A4S Charity Pairs Fishing Match
November 2016
Last month a fishing charity match was held by A4S, Angling4Success - a charity which supports young people across the UK. After deducting expenses, they raised £241.60 to go towards the 2017 school fees for Grace - one of our sponsored children.
Below is a summary of the days events, recounted by Sue Galloway, A4S Coach, who organised the match:
A4S fundraising charity match held on 28th October 2016 at Mill Cotton Lake, Ringstead was attended by 14 pairs out of which only 1 pair blanked. The weather conditions were good but fishing was very tough.
Participants ranged from grandparents fishing with their grandchildren, dads fishing with their sons and daughters and coaches fishing with students. A variety of coarse fish were caught with the heaviest fish caught being a 7lb 9oz common carp. 13lb 4oz won the match.
A big thank you goes to the participants, volunteers, Wellingborough and District Nene Angling Club for the use of Mill Cotton Lake, Dynamite Baits, Carpin Capers and Northampton Angling Action Group for prize donations.
We would like to say a huge thank you to A4S and everyone who participated in the event.
