Date added: 27/06/2012 MNDA Fish with the Stars Charity Event 2012 13th-15th August

From Mon 13th To Wed 15th Aug, Linear Fisheries will be hosting a ‘Fish with the Stars’ charity event for the MNDA (Motor Neurone Disease Association) to be held on both the Brasenose One and Two Lakes. We have promises from over thirty five of the top carp angling names in the country to take part in this August event. Just some of the names already booked in are Lee Jackson, Bryan Jarrett, the O’Connor’s, Dave Lane, Tim Paisley, Iain ‘Ting Tong’ Macmillan, Ian ‘Chilly’ Chillcott, Tom & Andy Maker, Paul Forward and Ian Russell.

As a guideline we will be happy with a £300 donation to fish the event but will be prepared to consider sums lower than this. Official MNDA Sponsorship forms are available to anyone wishing to raise their £300 donation by this means. The donation will need to be paid in advance and bookings will be taken on a first come first served basis. In addition to taking part in the event anyone paying the guideline price of £300 will receive a 48 hour voucher, worth up to £54 to fish Linear’s day ticket waters at any time in the following year. Paying the donation will include fishing with a well known angler for the event, food each day in the way of a BBQ/Hog Roast on the Monday and Tuesday evening and a BBQ breakfast on the Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Following last year’s success places have been going fast so if you want to take part in this popular event you should apply as soon as possible.
This is not a competition but more a social event and anglers taking part can negotiate moving around the two lakes with different stars over the three days if they wish, with excellent chances of learning carp fishing techniques from the experts. All proceeds will be going to a branch of the MNDA and to raise even more money for this worthy charity we also plan to have an auction and sell raffle tickets.

Alvin Roy and his Jazz Band will be giving their time to play for us on the Tuesday evening and a selected number of non-angling guests and associates will be invited along for this performance and the hog roast. We also plan have a few other well known faces, like Terry Hearn and Martin Bowler, just wandering round giving their advice during the event.

MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE
Some of you may be unaware of this dreadful disease that kills at least five people a day in this country and for which, at present, there is no cure. If you wish to learn more about MNDA, information can be found on the MND Association website.
