The annual Darfield ITM Fishing Competition, held on the 4th and 5th November at Haldon Arms, was once again, a great success and entertainment for all. This year 67 adults and 27 children entered the competition which raised $3,400 for Malvern Cancer Support Group. Friday morning was fishable but the afternoon was a complete washout with too much wind on and off the lake. On saying that, there was stories told in camp on Friday night of a monster fish caught by Brick, that was larger than his belly, according to Patrons Dick and Trout. His shipmate Charlie (no idea about fishing) Buttle, told Brick to put it back because it was too small. Apparently it would have won the competition so Charlie ended up the recipient of the Dick and Trout Award. Some contestants found it hard to even get to the event with Knowlsy blowing a wheel bearing on the way down. One brainbox, Wadsy, on the Skip Workin’ boat tied all the hooks on upside down, un- beknown to the Captain, otherwise known as God. Patron Dick managed to hook up a bikini from the bottom of the lake which prompted a lot of questions about what happened to the girl wearing it and how did she get out of the lake with no one seeing her? The organisers would like to thank the following sponsors for their support; Darfield ITM, Fishermans Loft, Anglers Warehouse, Bromley Butchery, Nigel Hodges, Charlie and Sue Buttle, John Button, Darfield Bakery and Malvern News. Winners: Overall Heaviest: George Topping Women's Heaviest: Bo Brown Child’s Heaviest: George Topping Dick & Trout Award: Charlie Buttle. God, on behalf of the organising committee.
