scheduled to take place on the club’s holdings of the Chesterfield
Canal.
Registrations can be made at the premises of the club’s sponsor,
Ken Ward Sports on Carlton Road.
Those anglers who took part in last year’s event and fished five
matches will be given priority of registration and they have until 10th
November to register in person. Block bookings will not be allowed.
Any other individual angler who does not meet the above criteria who wishes
to take part in this year’s league should register their names personally
at Ken Ward Sports. Any vacant places will be allocated in order of registration
on a first come, first served basis.
The league will be restricted to 60 anglers and there will be six matches
to fish, with the best five results counting towards the aggregate league
results.
The entry fee is £15 and all cheques should be made payable to Grafton
Angling Association.
Dates for the six matches are 24th November, 1st, 15th December, 2nd,
16th February and 2nd March.
The draw will take place at the Woodhouse Inn pub from 8.15am until 9am
and fishing will be from 10am until 3pm.
The entry fee for each match will be £10 with prizes allocated to
sections plus five individual pay-outs.
Three person team registrations are being accepted with the entry fee
of £6 per team.
Braided lines will not be allowed in this event and any angler found to
be using them will be excluded from the competition and forfeit any accumulated
points and any fees paid. Further details from Rod Clark on 01623 822329.
Sandhill Lake Fund Raiser
Andy
Marsden’s second open event that took place on Sandhill Lake attracted
17 anglers who were confronted with a fishery that had been subjected
to the first heavy overnight frost of the year, making fishing very difficult
for many of them.
The result proved to be a one horse race with Tommy Harper of Worksop
obliterating the rest of the field with an amazing 66lb of bream up to
6lb.
Fishing well out into the centre of the lake, he used the polaris sidewinder
method from peg 57 with the groundbait feeder and worm as hook bait.
Runner-up was Stewart Brumpton (Worksop) with 11lb 6oz from peg 51, with
Simon Smith (Worksop) third with 5lb 3oz from peg 52.
The total amount raised towards the platform project now stands at £506.50
and it is anticipated that work will start as soon as the water reaches
its winter levels.
Notice Board
Worksop United’s permit holders’ match will take place tomorrow on the Bracebridge section and the entry fee is £4.
