This year’s charity fundraising competition for the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is taking place at the Lake of Menteith on Tuesday 21st October.
Last year’s event was a great success and thanks to the hard-work and generosity of the organisers, sponsors and fundraisers, £5255 was raised for the charity.
This year, 25% of the proceeds will go to the Menteith Cormorants which is the Lake’s club for 9-16 year olds. This club does a great job in supporting and encouraging the development of young anglers. The remainder of the proceeds will go to CHAS.
This is a fun competition and you don’t have to be a seasoned competition angler to take part. There are some superb prizes on offer and every angler is automatically entered into the raffle so even if you have a bad day on the water, you could still win a great prize. The top three prizes are;
1st - £300
2nd – A Gallon of Whisky
3rd – A Fly-Rod
To enter, you need to raise a minimum of £100 sponsorship and pay your share of the boat (£20) - there is no additional entry fee. Official Sponsor Forms can be obtained from organiser Kevin McCabe or from Quint or Douglas at the Lake (contact details below).
If you are not able to participate but would like to support the event and CHAS, donations of either cash or prizes would be greatly appreciated. We have set-up a just-giving page to make it simple for people who just want to make a small donation to support CHAS;
