Milton Keynes Festival of Fishing
31 August to 6 September 2009
All proceeds to Willen Hospice
MKAA is pleased to announce the dates of the Festival of Fishing 2009. Over the last few years we have used this event to raise over £7,000 for Willen Hospice, you must agree a very worthy cause. As mentioned all monies collected are passed onto Willen Hospice, all costs a borne by MKAA, the volunteers themselves and our sponsors. Again a huge thanks go to our sponsors Willards Fishing Tackle, and Gone Fishin with a special mention going 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. This year as well the festival is incorporating the 24 Hour sponsored Vic Wright Memorial Match.
Food, Ice Cream, Tea and Coffee will all be available.
