ANOTHER first and new festival at White Acres; Tuesday 5^th April saw the start of the 3 day Coors Lager Veterans Festival, open to those 55 and over. 27 competitors aged between 55 and 71 took to the banks of Jennys and Trelawney to fish for the White Acres Veterans title.
Coors Lager generously donated £1000 and topped up with entry money means that we will be paying overall top five in cash and prizes to 15^th place with the lucky winner taking away £400 cash, with Sheffield Angler Ray Williams (pictured below right receiving his trophy from the sponsors) taking the top prize plus plenty of lager!
