Venue: Swangey Lakes, Attleborough, Norfolk, NR17 1XJ Starts: Wednesday, 02 May 2012 at 12:00 Ends: Friday, 04 May 2012 at 12:00 |
This has always been a popular event and I would think it will be well patronised this time around, especially now as we have secured a prime lake, full of fish and in a fabulous setting.
Challenge
The challenge is for the competitors to catch a combined total of 1000lb of fish in 48 hours

Fees
The cost will be £50 which includes Peg Fees, Prize Fund and Trophies. This may seem a lot, but had we had to book the lake, as is normal, it would have cost in the region of £1000, thereby making our cost much more than it is. So in effect we have saved around £500!

Please be advised that all interested participants should let me know asap at www.facebook.com/fishathon4, where you will be given an address to send a non returnable cash deposit of £25 to secure each place. This has to be cash as we do not have a bank account for the event, thank you.

Once the deposit has been received each participant will be forwarded an acknowledgement letter along with a couple of sponsor forms and it is requested that you all gain at least £50 of sponsorship. There will be an incentive in that, for each £10 of sponsorship gained, 2lb of weight will be added to your individual total.
Also, there is an onsite food van that will keep you well fed for the duration, at a cost obviously! Angie will be open between 0700 and 1900 on each day and can provide very nice food at a very reasonable price indeed. Angie will also deliver to your swim, just in case you're in the process of battling with that monster!!
