Anglers Supporting Help For Heroes.
The annual 'Help For Heroes' fundraiser has grown year on year, and is now the biggest Help For Heroes charity match in the UK.

The 300 peg, six hour match will take place at Garbolino Lindholme Lakes on August the 2nd 2014. The draw will be at 9 am, with entry costing £25.00 all in.

Anglers of all abilities are welcome, from absolute beginners to seasoned match anglers. This is a chance to meet and compete with some of UK’s top anglers with the likes of Marc Rodger, Nick Speed, Dave Swain, Zac Brown, Shane Atkin and many more top names all coming together for this fantastic cause. There will also be a separate raffle on the day with hundreds of prizes up for grabs including coaching days with some of the top anglers and coaches.

The match organiser Dave Stott says “I’m amazed at how this has grown, but in another way I’m not because I know how well people respond to the Help For Heroes charity, when I organised the first match six years ago there were nine of us sat around my local pond, just look at it now, 300 anglers at a prestigious fishery with young kids with their dads sat behind them, pleasure anglers, seasoned match anglers right through to World, UK, Fish 'O' Mania and Maver Match This Champions, it makes my head spin”.

Dave is also planning to have a couple of ex World Champions and a few celebrity anglers booked in for the match too. Where else could you go for a day’s fishing and quite possibly peg next to a top angler AND raise money for Help For Heroes?
