Golden Balls Fishing Charity Event at BHF - 13 06 2011


Golden Balls Fishing Charity started raising funds for Cancer Research UK in 2006 and to the end of 2010 has raised over £86,000 for this worthwhile cause, all from fishing events.

The 2011 Charity Weekend will be held over the dates of 10^th & 11^th September and we are pleased to announce that one of the country’s leading day ticket fisheries in Dorking Surrey, Bury Hill Fisheries has kindly donated 20 swims for a 24 hour carp competition to aid fundraising. This means that the event will, for the first time, be running at three separate locations – the well established Hawkhurst Fishery at Hawkhurst, Kent and another new venue, Cackle Hill Lakes at Biddenden, Kent.

To enter the carp competition, anglers need to raise a minimum donation of £150. As is standard with all Golden Balls charity events, choice of swims will be offered to the highest fundraiser with second choice going to the second highest fundraiser and so on. There is a holiday to be won for the top fundraiser courtesy of our generous sponsors as well as special prizes for the top 3 anglers along with many exciting raffle prizes on offer. In addition, anglers fishing the Bury Hill event will also benefit from numerous tackle and bait prizes which will be allocated to swim numbers, these will consist of anything from a bag of boilies to selected rods and reels. Anglers will only find out what they have won once they have chosen their swim, so everyone participating stands the win some excellent prizes.
