Now confirmed that the fishing comp trophy is being hand crafted by Mike Shorer. Maker of jewelery to the royals and celebrities. He also makes some pretty funky trophies for things such as embassy snooker, 888 poker, vegas poker champs...........

Trophy And Prize Update

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Only two weeks to go to the comp. Im photographing the trophy on Friday and will post up here what your fishing for. Keep those sponsors comming.

 

Also we have a couple of odd prizes donated, but prizes nonetheless.

 

Gardener and Scardifield in Lancing have given us a heat gun cased with all the attachments. Handy for the decorators out there. Also Compass Marine in Lancing have donated a good sized model sailing ship. So for anyone into that sort of thing then this is for you.

 

Please come along, bring some mates and get sponsored. Dont forget the top raffle prize is a brand new fishing kayak from www.perception.co.uk

 

Cheers

Hi Chris,

 

I was singing your praises again the other day as my mate was freezing and wet while i was warm and dry. I have to be honest and say that no one has ever asked to buy tickets before. I will speak to the other organisers. Either way the the way it works is for every £20 sponsorship raised you get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize. Thing is people need to be there on the day to take the prize away as any postage would loose the charitys money. Like i say, will talk to the guys and post back.

 

Cheers mate

The weekends event was a big success despite a very lumpy sea on Saturday. One of my rescue divers spent the afternoon chucking up over the side. We raised £12k and counting over the two days.

 

Sadly the fishing comp fell on its arse. Despite £2000 of prizes to raffle away and the hand made trophy worth £1900 only six anglers turned up!!!

 

Devastated is an understatement although those six did raise nearly £400 between them!! Picture of the races here if you fancy a peek.

Don't know what to say mate?? All that effort and 6 people turn out?? What a bummer for you!! But at least they did not so bad I suppose. Just sorry I couldn't make it myself!! But went to book a ferry and they want £500+ for the trip!!!!

 

Well at least the rest went ok? £12k and counting!! You deserve a pat on the back for that at the VERY least!!!
