The details for the Arthur Cove Memorial Bank Competition are as follows:
It will be fished at Eyebrook Trout Fishery on Saturday the 15th of May, with a briefing at 9.30 am. The match will start on the siren at 10am, finishing at 4pm.
We hope to have a friendly competition, fished to fishery rules. In the unlikely event of a tie there will be a coin toss.

A nymph only match was suggested, but we considered this unrealistic. It would be nice to think everyone at some point in the match would try one of Arthur's patterns and spare him a thought!
Charles Jardine will be attending.

Entry fees are as follows: Adult £30
O.A.P £26
Junior £21

The beneficiaries will be the Arthur Cove Memorial (to fund a Memorial Bench) with any excess split between England Youth Fly Fishing Association and Rainbows Children's Hospice, as requested by his family.

A box of Arthur Cove's own flies, with a letter of authenticity from Mrs. Pauline Cove and a Orvis Western Three Fly Rod. Sponsored by Orvis.
