In the most winter like conditions 53 brave souls turned out on Easter Sunday for the South Broads RNLI Charity Match.
Thanks to all the kind donations for the raffle which raised £160. The final total of money raised for this worthy cause was £537.60. Well done to all those involved.
The event was won by the very much in-form Warren Martin with the pellet waggler. He drew the causeway on the Pleasure Lake and caught 197lb of fish! Warren (pictured below) has fished each day of the weekend for the last two weeks and has won 4 matches out of four - one of which breaking a lake record!!
Top 4 Anglers are pictured from left: 4th Dave Jarvis (Deben), 2nd Lee Carver (Barford Tackle), 1st Warren Martin (Sensas/Barford Tackle) and 4th Paul Gardiner (Barford Tackle)
