On 14th December 2013, Lowestoft (Cefas-Pakefield area) I will be holding a Charity fishing match called 'Fishing for Wishes' in aid of Make-A-Wish Foundation, UK.

The match will be from 10am-3pm
1 ROD, 3 HOOKS max, No bait Restrictions, Catch & Release, Pre-booked, and pegs to be drawn on day. Also will have Prizes for Biggest Round/Flat

The cost of the Match is: FREE

The main winner will take home a brand new, Century Tip Tornado Low Diameter Rod and Century Rod bag worth rrp £350 as well as a large shiny trophy.

What's the catch? Well, its a Charity match and its in aid of making some cash for seriously sick children to grant them a wish for a day. This could be to meet Jenson Button or fly a plane, its giving them and there parents a day of smiles which they won't get too often. Who else grants childrens wishes...? Santa... :)

Yes, each angler who enters will be giving/sent an info pack with sponsorship forms and a free Santa outfit which is to be worn during the match, lol. (In case of bad weather we will allow clothing underneath and what ever is sensible to health and safety).
In the info pack there will be a sponsorship form which I ask you to gain donations for your efforts and our efforts from friends, family and workers. Can you imagine a beach full of Santa's fishing...? what a great sight it will be!

The match is registered with Make-A-Wish and we have plans in motion to hold a Lowestoft high-street collection on 30th Nov giving out cakes, pies, mulled wine (Non alcoholic), and other bits as well as flyers in rtn for donations.

There will be a fishing raffle with some great prizes, all will be welcom to buy tickets and postage to people can be sorted if they live away. Thus far we have 3 quality rods, a weeks holiday chalet in kessingland for four, 3 charter boat spaces, brand new Century clothing not yet out for sale and much more on offer.

Every penny raised goes to charity, all prizes have been donated.

All help is needed and support is very welcomed. My donation page is:
Philip White is fundraising for Make-A-Wish Foundation UK

If you can help or want to take part please send me a message and i'll be in touch.

Many thanks

Phil

Thanks fella, drop me a pm with your contact info and I'll get an info pk over to you. :)
hi mate im up for it and i think i can rope a few more in :yeah:
I can't guarantee I'll be free on the day, but closer to the date I'll let you know, if that's OK. How late would be too late, in terms of my confirming?

Still, if I am free, count me in! My brother will probably be up for it too :thumbs: So sorry I can't be certain yet, but I'll do my best to add another two anglers to this fishy philanthropy.

Nice One, You can confirm right up until the week before the event fella, but each angler must get some sponsors from friends and family etc as that's how we are making the cash for charity. Free Santa suit, Free to enter, Top prizes just need to gather a few quid... :)

I cant really practically fish the match but will happily support the cause by buying a few raffle tickets. Is there any way I can do this without visiting a sale point? Cheers
