The Fishing Competition is open to anyone who wants to participate. This is a light hearted friendly competition with the whole idea to raise money for the charities. We must stress, that there are limited places and they are filling up rather rapidly, so don't delay in getting signed up.

Entrance to the competition is £5 payable to either Steve Vigar (07931 727380) or David Fletcher (07919 902902) which pays for your entrance into the competition and swim at the lake.

When you have paid your £5 entrance fee you will be given a sponsorship form. For every £10 of sponsorship you raise, one pound will be added to your total weight of fish caught. Naturally, the sooner you get involved the sooner you can start getting the sponsorship rolling in.

Dents of Hilgay are very kindly providing us with the venue.
