Charity Day A Huge Success

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took part and donated to our charity day on the 1^st of August. The day was a huge success and we managed to raise £640 for Mindwise our chosen charity this year thank you all very much. The competition was well attended with 25 anglers fishing. It fished well considering the pressure on the water from that many anglers and most caught a few fish.

Well done and congratulations to Gavin Marshall who took 1st place with a common of 7lb 8oz and Darren Halley in 2^nd  place with a common of 7lb.

The bbq was also well attended thanks to all who came a great night was had by all there were even a few sore heads the next day (I know my fault I forced you to drink it lol).

Thanks to Derek Curran, Damian Willis, Tim Murphy and Melvin Percy for helping with the weighing on the day.

A special thanks to:

Kingsway Butchers, Dunmurry for supplying the food for the bbq.

Chris Quigley (professional diver) and Draynes Farm for supplying the juice and bottles of water for the bbq.

Peter at Irish Bait and tackle and Darren Halley for donating prizes for the raffle.

Roy Gregg for raising £67 for the Charity.

Looking forward to next year.
