Thanks to everyone who took part in this year’s Glebe Festival – hope you all enjoyed it. Gave me a bit of my mojo back for match fishing I’ve not fished one since the previous festival. I know Pat from DHP felt the same. Just wish there was more time?
One of the stipulations re the money raised for charity is that the peg fee goes to Fish Legal. This is a condition of Roy donating the fishery for two days.
The other 50% of they money can go to any good cause or charity we choose (including Fish Legal). This year we raised £1810 in total.
Previously we have donated to causes such as Les Webber’s Angling Projects, The Rainbow Trust and the Jeff Moors Memorial Fund. Some years 100 per cent has gone to the ACA (now Fish Legal).
It’s up to the TF members who fished and want to express an opinion.
So far we have two suggestions:
Rainbow Trust
http://www.rainbowtrust.org.uk/
Dave Pearson (Pikey) is heavily involved in the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, which provides emotional and practical support to families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. Dave is the guy who said a few words about the Trust after the match. Revenue is down this year due to the economic climate.
LOROS
http://www.loros.com
Jarred (who won this year’s festival) would like us to consider LOROS (the Leicestershire and Rutland Organisation for the Relief of Suffering). This is a local charity providing care and support within Leicestershire and Rutland. It’s a cause dear to his heart as he lost his father to cancer recently.
Let’s take the next ten days to bat this one about – anyone else with suggestions or comments feel free to put them on here. We can then have a vote.
"H"….
