NEWKID 27,162 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 For those lads who maybe don't go on general talk section, or who've not seen We're running a charity fishing match on the river Trent near Nottingham, on the 18th August for all THL members, It will be £10 match fees with all proceeds going to cancer charities ( TBC) we'll be having a raffle in the pub after with presentation, there'll be 3 prizes for the top 3 weights with a trophy for the winner donated by Ossie and Arch and also a special trophy in memory of Craigyboy ( donated by the stig) for the biggest fish.. All proceeds from the raffle will also go to charity. All match details ( times etc) will be confirmed, Ossie and Arch and lurcher1 are organising the venue, pegging etc... This is a bit of a Craic lads, nothing serious as such just a day out and raising a bit of money too, any lads that would like to fish it but maybe haven't got freshwater gear, I'll get then enough to get them fishing.. A couple of lads have said they'll help out ( dido and the stig) so it should all go well on the day.. If anyone's interested add to this post Cheers lads Kev 1 Quote Link to post

NEWKID 27,162 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yeah of course TC, anything towards the event goes to charity so that would be great... Thanks Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I will sponser JB for a pound for every 1lb of fish he catches. But, just in case the river is in flood etc, it will be a minimum of a £5 donation. TC Edited May 19, 2013 by tiercel 3 Quote Link to post

Acuspell 329 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 A PLEA..... As you run a charity match occassionally, can I ask you to consider some of the funds for a very worthwhile new charity just getting off the ground: HOW - Heroes on the Water. have a look at the heroes on the WaterUKwebsite to find out more. A very worthwhile cause that is entirely voluntary - no money goes to fund salaries with this one! If any clubs you know of are holding a charity match - please, can they consider supporting this program with some of the funds. Thanks - I would love to come if there is info on roughly where it is. Can I fish from the kayak and use the fly rod? Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 In the proposed area to fish what species are likely to be there ??? Quote Link to post
NEWKID 27,162 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi lads, Acuspell, I don't normally run charity matches, infact this is the first match I've helped organise for years lol The exact charity has not been decided but, cancer research or something similar was the idea, the initial idea was due to the loss of 2 very close friends who I fished with ( well was taught by one) through this disease.. But this is not my match, or entirely my choice of charity.... I just put the idea out there and we've ran with it, Ossie and Arch and Lurcher1 are doing alot of the leg work on the venue and after venue pub.. The match itself is a coarse fishing match and will be fished from drawn pegs, so would need to be fished from the bank ( to be fair to everyone else). It would be great if you came and fished mate, I've now sorted bait for the event and our tackle shop has thrown their support to it ( ill put a post on the main thread on general talk)... Socks It's a coarse fishing match, the main species would be barbel, chub, roach maybe bream.............. Oh and those bloody pike.. As in most coarse matches game fish won't count.. This was to be like the old traditional matches from the 80's 90's and fishing a natural waterway instead of he manafacured carp ponds which are so popular now,.... Well that was the original idea lol.. Cheers lads Quote Link to post
NEWKID 27,162 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 If it was closer i would be up for it.... But will sponser some Thanks mate that's really good of you I've secured some good sponsorship today, I'll put the details up in a bit Quote Link to post
