  These rods were used by five times World Champion Alan Scotthorne, MBE to win his last gold medal when fishing lake Valence, Hungary in 2007 and the European Championships in Coruche, Portugal 2010.
  
  There is also a short hand written note from Alan authenticating these rods.

  Steve also won the individual gold medal to accompany the ‘A’ team gold medal in the European Feeder Friendly Championships held in Ghent, Belgium in April 2012, and has also been selected to represent England in the World Feeder Championships 7th/8th July 2012 in Ghent, Belgium.
  
  The Angling Trust would like to thank Alan Scotthorne and Steve Ringer for donating these Rod’s to help the World Angling Championship teams who are trying to raise funds in order to participate in the 2012 World Championships.

  Hate to set this off on a bad note but I actually find this pretty sad.
  If this was for charity maybe, but to raise money for the teams to compete… grim.
  I’m guessing it’s for the fringe teams – although it doesn’t say.
  Perhaps someone from the Angling Trust can come on here and enlighten me???

  It’s a terrible state of affairs Geeps and stems from the lack of financial support that the Angling trust has been able to generate, it’s time that any angler fishing at any level would have to be an angling trust member.How they do this I have no idea! All sports have a governing body, most other sports anyone playing their sport in a league has to be a member of the governing body, maybe they need to make the price of joining lower to get all anglers to join sea, course and game a fiver a man? But change needs to happen.
