Thanks for your replies, sorry I don't think dressing up will do it though (unless your'e really good!!!
The ladies trials are held over three matches, one in the north, one in the south and one in mid Wales. The Team is chosen on the results of these matches but also on various other things such as fishing ability, match fishing skills, casting ability, watercraft skills etc. At the moment sadly with only 8 ladies having applied to fish there is not really as much competition for places as I would like but unless people come forward and have a go then there is not much else I can do.
Little Mermaid it would be great for you to join us but I understand if transport is a problem.
Fundraising - We get a small amount from the Sports Coucil each year and the rest of the money is raised by myself and some other members of the team, this year the costs for Brazil amount to some 9000.00! That takes some serious fundraising and any shortfall has to be met by individual team members. We don't have a cash sponsor or any other form of sponsorship for the team at the moment so its hard work.
Anyway if there are any ladies out there who would like to fish the trials this year then get in touch, Helen
