The 2008 Disabilities Trust - Bliss charity carp challenge
Wintons Fishery 25th - 27th April 2008
Thanks to the generosity and support of the team at Winton’s Fishery and the huge number of sponsors and anglers who have given their time and money to support our events for the last 3 years. 2008 will see the forth charity carp challenge in aid of the Disabilities Trust, and for the first time Bliss, the premature baby charity. Over the last 3 years the competition has raised a staggering £7,000 for the Trust who provide specialist care for children and adults with autism, people with an acquired brain injury, adults with profound physical disabilities, and adults with learning disabilities. This year we will also be supporting Bliss, the premature baby charity. Some newborn babies need a little extra special care. BLISS is dedicated to ensuring that more babies survive, have the best possible quality of life and that their parents and families get the support they need.
2007 saw the birth of our son Dylan, 6 weeks prematurely. Thankfully with the support of the staff at the Worthing Special Care Baby Unit, Dylan was fine and is now thriving. However it made me realise how lucky we were to have a support network in place even at that level.
Bliss take this essential care to the highest level for the babies and parents who’s needs are far greater. The Carp and Catfish competition is a celebration of their work and the care that both charities provide. By raising money for such worthy causes we can help to sustain their work, and the care that they provide to thousands of people around the country.
The competition showcases the best carp and catfish fishing in southern England with 12 anglers competing in pairs to catch the largest weight of carp and catfish from Mallard lake on the Winton’s Fishery Complex.
We are aiming to make 2008 the most successful competition yet but we need your support. If you are interested in supporting the event or would like to know more please visit www.captiveangler.co.uk
