Yorkhill hospital & Ronald McDonald charity fundraiser 2010!..
There is going to be a fundraising comp in aid of Yorkhill hospital & Ronald McDonald house in Glasgow, set for April 11th next season!..
Local angler Tam McGregor & his family decided the best way they can give a big thankyou for all their care & support towards their family & granddaughter, is to have a fishy fundraiser!.. They want to help ensure that these fantastic places will continue to be there for other families who need their support & care.
This is of course a sponsored event with the aim to raise as much money possible the best way we know how, which is fishing! Info packs & sponsor forms will be available soon from the fishery office & further info such as details of the individuals & companies who have graciously donated all the fantastic prizes for this event will be posted soon!..
So far Tam has organised prizes for 1st,2nd,3rd,heaviest fish and most monies raised by an individual. There will also be a raffle and of course we will feed you on the day also! Please remember that you don't have to be an angler already to join in the fun, Tam has several folk sighned up who haven't even wet a line yet!..
If you are looking for a little inspiration, Tam suggested you have a look at http://cerysdawne-connor.gonetoosoon.org/memorial or www.ronaldmcdonaldhouse.net
Thanks for reading this & look forward to hearing from you all soon!..

"A GUID NEW YEAR COMP", 2010!
Due to the continuing big freeze, the date has been changed for our annual New Year fly fishing competition, 2010 yet again!
Hi
folks!
Yes unfortunately I'm going to have to re- reschedule Allandale Tarn's
'A Guid New Year' competition that we hoped would finally welcome in the
new season this Saturday!
Despite ice breaking every day this week and running the aeriator to try
& help clear the ice, we are perpetually re-freezing every night this
week again & the cold weather seems like it's staying with us for
now!..
So, I've set the date for Saturday March 6th, which by then we
will surely be defrosted!... As before, anyone who had their name down
originally will be given priority to put their name down for the new date!
Please call & let us know if you still want to fish it or even if
you can't make it, it would be great & helpful if you can let us know
either way! Please feel free to call on (01506)873073 or you can email
me (Iona).
Many thanks & tight lines in this new season wherever you manage to
wet a line!...
*Iona @ The Tarn*
9:30am kick off and the final weigh in is 4pm. The cost is £27.00 to enter.
Feel free to pop in to book or you can call us on 01506873073, alternatively, email margo@thefishery.orangehome.co.uk to book or for any further details!..
Tight lines everyone!..
