Urgent! - Charity fish-in at Barford, Warwickshire Avon on Sunday 4th March 2012. The current idea is that we are taking on the Shakespeare and Oxford Regions. Pike and Predator Magazine have kindly agreed to sponsor this event and have donated a year’s subscription and two books as prizes, but the real object of the day is to help two very worthy cancer charities – Cancer Research and the MacMillan Nurses. There would be a charge of £15 to fish; of this £3.00 would go to the Barford Club and the remainder would be divided equally between the two charities. We hope for a really good turnout, to give the charities a generous donation. There are approximately 50 pegs available and it is planned to have a pint in the Joseph Arch pub in Barford afterwards where food will be available. The event will be covered in Pike & Predators magazine. I really hope we can get a good number of our lads taking part in this event. Please let me know by Saturday, 14th January 2012 if you would like to take part, we may then open this up to other regions. please drop me a mail at PAC@Brum-Pikers.co.uk
