Meon Springs June18th 2012
In June 2012 we are holding what is going to be a major fundraising event for the charity. This day will consist of a team event along with 30 celebrities from the worlds of sport, television,fishing and shooting,who will be spending their day both fly fishing and shooting. There are some fantastic prizes to be won and an auction with some fabulous lots, as well as spending the day with some leading celebrities.
We have had a fantastic response from people wanting to take part in this event but there are a small amount of opportunities for anyone who wants to take part as a corporate sponsor or individual teams.
WORLD FLY CASTING RECORD ATTEMPT
We along with support from Hardys are intending to set a new World Distance Fly Casting Record. The attempt will be made over the three days of the CLA Gamefair at Blenheim Palace 22nd to the 24th July. The record we hope will be acheived by Three members of the Hardy Greys’ Academy and Three members of the charitys instructing staff. They hope to cast a combined distance of over 85 miles during the three day period, so please do come along and support them if you can.
