Macmillan Cancer Support Charity Fishing Match.


This is an email from Hannah Powel regarding a charity competition that we sponsored earlier in the year.

Earlier this year Hannah Powel approached the lymington sea fishing clubs committee for help with running an open fishing competition for charity, namely Macmillan Cancer Support , it was successfully agreed and after  a few meetings a format for the match was made and Hannah got to work approaching the local tackle shops for some prize donations of which all gave generously and thanks must go to Bells of Hythe, also thanks to all the people that helped out on the day of the match and the anglers turned out to support the event. Although the turnout was not as big as hoped Hannah made £285 pounds for her charity so THANKS again to you all.
