A Big Catch for Police Fishing Match Under 18's

A day with the 'David Beckham' of the angling world is what awaits the winners of West Yorkshire Police’s 14th annual fishing competition.

Bob Nudd, the four times fishing World Champion and England Squad World Champion has cast his support to this years event.

Budding anglers looking for the chance to fish alongside their idol are being called upon to get their applications in early. The event takes place on the Calder/ Hebble Canal, Horbury, Wakefield on the 4 August 2007. However, places are limited!

120 junior places are available for those under the age of 15 and 60 intermediate places are available for those under the age of 18 on the day of the match. Two winners and two runners up will get the chance to spend the day fishing with Bob, picking up tips and advice from the best.

Force Photographer, David Speight is organising the event and says it’s a fantastic opportunity for any angler.

“To have the backing and support of the likes of Bob Nudd is a real coup for us. This has always been a great family day and is open to everybody regardless of their experience.”

“I would urge anyone wanting to take part to register their interest now. It is always a really successful event and prizes will be awarded to winners of the various categories on the day."
Those who want to be sent an application the moment they’re available must contact Anne Shaw at West Yorkshire Police Community Safety on (01924) 292271.

Anglers who took part in last year’s competition will also receive a form automatically.
