All proceeds to Willen Hospice

MKAA is pleased to announce the dates of this years Festival of Fishing.  Over the last few years we have used this event to raise over £5,000 for Willen Hospice, you must agree a very worthy cause.  During the festival we have fishing matches to suite everyone.   We are grateful for our sponsors AIM Property Services, Willards Fishing Tackle, Venture Carp Tackle, Gone Fishin, DJ Marquees and we have to give a big thanks to MK Parks Trust for opening up the whole of Furzton Lake and providing other amenities.  All matches have trophies to 3rd place and other prizes - too many to mention.  We are hoping to have some exciting raffle prizes as well
