Daniel is thinking of resurrecting the Angling Times Winter League in the area but needs teams of ten anglers to support the series.
There will be 6 matches to commit to and they’ll be from October 2008 to end of March 2009. Venues are to be decided but the matches will probably be fished over our venues, the river and other stillwaters in the area.
If you think you can get a team of ten together then please contact Daniel on 01603 759624 or email him by clicking here .
This event is now not going to be spread over two days (given it's the last weekend before Xmas it was felt that the holding the event over the whole weekend was a bit of a commitment).
Watch this space though for a Gold & Silver Pairs event spread over two Saturdays in February - or possibly a three match series (all TBA soon!).
So this year's event will now be fished on Barford Match & Pleasure Lake on Saturday 22nd December 2007. One angler will fish the Pleasure Lake (carp don't count) and the other the Match Lake (normal Match Rules apply). You may choose who fishes where.
The draw is at 8.30 with fishing from 10am - 3pm. The cost is £40 per pair and the payouts below are based on 20 pairs fishing. The event will be decided on points.
Lake Winners each day - £50
Section winners - £20
1st Pair - £160
2nd Pair - £100
3rd Pair - £80
