John Hunt match set for 29th July

The event is in honour of their great friend and former owner of the fishery.

On a personal note, we both also remember John with extremely fond memories, he was one of nature’s gentlemen with a generous nature and was always one of the first to offer his fishery free of charge for any children’s events or charity matches.

Their aim is to raise enough money to erect a memorial bench overlooking the lake, and we believe this to be a fitting tribute to John’s legacy.

The entry fee is £10, of which the £5 pegging fee is being donated to the fund and the remainder will be paid in pools money.

There will also be a prize raffle organised on the day and if anybody would like to donate prizes or book on for the match they can contact Bleak on 07513 861397.
