Pam and Gerry put over £2,000's worth of tackle as prizes plus £1,000 in cash. They also provide trophies for the top 4 overall, the ladies and junior winners. The winner picked up £500 plus trophy, 2nd place won £250 plus trophy, 3rd won £150 plus trophy, 4th place won £100 plus trophy. Overall 56 anglers received cash prizes including the top two in each section
For the past few years this event has had some horrible weather, this year was the complete opposite, plenty of sunshine and at times a welcomed slight breeze. The weather provided and excellent day for the anglers and for their fishing. Plenty of fish obliged considering most of the pegs on the complex were used. It was another excellently run championships by Pam and Gerry
