Lola-Rose Foundation Charity Match 11th October 2016
Today saw 24 anglers come to support the fund raising for the lola-rosefoundation {www.lola-rosefoundation.co.uk} ,which promotes research into stillbirth and neonatal death whilst supporting families suffering such a devastating loss.
The day saw 8 pairs which consisted of 8 anglers and 8 non anglers and 8 anglers fishing seperately. The weather was warm if you were on the motorway bank and cold if you had drawn the car park bank, and it was the anglers on pegs 14,15,17 and 18 that saw the majority of the fish although it was no really a competitive match.
The winning pair on the day were Charlie and Terry on pegs 14 and 15 who caught several carp in their winning weight of 112-07 closely followed by Chris and Rich on pegs 18 and 17 with 68-01.
I even had the opportunity to help Charlie on peg 24 who had never fished before catch 3 carp and a few silvers which put him in 5th place out of 24 anglers, which totally made his day.
The big winner of the day was the Foundation which had over £3,000 raised through fundraising and the raffle which was fantastic in helping the charity continue their research and support .
Pairs 1 Angler and 1 non angler.
