Charities Cheque Presentation October 20th 2007

Saturday 20th October 2007 saw proceeds from this years fundraising totaling  £3,829 being handed over to our chosen charities Rainbows Children's Hospice & Macmillan Cancer support. Once again this was the cumulative efforts of many generous hard working individuals that made up the Dangler-Team in 2007 

Once again Bucko our Charity Events Coordinator had organised the presentation to take place at Holy Farm and invited representatives from Rainbows Children's Hospice & Macmillan cancer support.

John thanked this years Dangler-Team who are scattered all over the country for all their hard work throughout the year and to everyone for their continued support, stating that if it wasn't for the hard work certain individuals running matches up and down the country we would never have achieved such a fantastic amount again this year.

Thanks to the Dangler Fund Raising Team 2007

 No stranger to running matches week in week out, our Northern fund raising guru and Yorkshire Tykes top man Andrew Archer kindly ran the first match of the series once again, this year at Lindholme Lakes.  Equiped with a van full of Easter raffle prizes to tempt anglers to hand over charity money and through donations, Andrew started the Charities Championships rolling with the sum of £304. Thanks mate we appreciate your hard work (again)

It was then the Turn of the other good looking Dangler fundraiser, other than myself Matt Nutt and what a prolific fundraiser he is, Matt moved venue this year to Alders Farm and through the support of his sponsors GOT baits he raised a fantastic £1,584.00 Brilliant mate we appreciate your continued support.

Then again it was the turn of the Southern dangler-duo Vince Gould & Peter Morton. All smiles this year I think Vince maybe warming to Peter? or were those smiles because he wasn't pegged near him for once.  They did the charities proud at Monk Lakes by raising £391.00 thanks guys we love you, in a manly way you understand.

Itching to get out there and raise a few bob for Charity again was our main man Bucko. (Disabled-angler Charity events coordinator) and as always he does a magnificent job in doing so.

Bucko and his gang firstly visited The Riddings where £186 was added to the charity pot

Birch House lakes Raised £202

Holmes Farm Raised £178

Misterton Hall Raised £151 (Those Shorts Craig)

Holly Farm Final Raised £708

Bucko has built up quite an entourage over the years and he would admit that with out his main supporter, the danglers first lady Linda Buxton things wouldn't happen. Thanks Linda 

To the dangler helpers, Mick Ribbons and his lads, to Jake King & Neil Jeacock to Roger and Linda (danglers secret raffle weapon) thanks guys your help is much appreciated.

What's Happening in 2008?

Bucko has already booked venues for next year Andy is running another match up North and the Southern duo Vince & Peter  are running a match at Monks Lake. Matt has partnered up with Ray Best and they are running a hundred pegger at Boddington reservoir this promises to be a nice little earner as they say  
So it looks like we'll be doing it all again in 2008

For 2008 the danglers are very pleased to welcome on board our new major charity sponsor Woodford Plant-Hire. As you know every year every penny which we raise goes to the charities themselves.  This would be impossible to do without the backing and  financial support of a major sponsor, covering the cost of the trophies and Admin expenses, for this we are extremely grateful.
