Ivan Marks River Memorial
16th June 2006The listing was posted by National Federation of Anglers
Following the success of the inaugural Ivan Marks memorial match on the Welland last year it has been decided to run a second memorial match on a river The Witham was one of Ivan’s favourite venues and the second memorial match will be fished on the Witham at Kirkstead on Sunday 24th September. The Witham Joint Anglers Federation has kindly donated the pegs for this match and the pegging fees will be donated to the charity along with any other monies raised. The H.Q. for the match will be at the Kings Arms Kirkstead where refreshments will be available and the draw will take place from 8-15am with fishing from 10-00am to 3-00pm. The pegs will be along the roadside stretch with anglers able to park behind their pegs. Negotiations are underway to secure some sponsorship for the match and trophies will be on offer. It is the general opinion that September will be the best time for a match on the Witham and the Environment Agency have been requested to cut the weed before the match Over four hundred anglers fished this match last year and a good entry is anticipated. Tickets are £15-00 all in and they are now available from Frank Butler 14 St Andrews Gardens Lincoln LN6 7UQ. Telephone 01522 534174 Please enclose an S.A.E. and make cheques payable to Frank Butler.
