Lee Hughes receives one of the first Angling Trust Volunteers Awards

​Lee Hughes has received one of the first Angling Trust Volunteers’ Awards this week.
Following nominations for the award, an Angling Trust committee chose Lee for his outstanding contribution to the Voluntary Bailiff Service. 


Lee has shown a strong commitment to the VBS from the start, where he has excelled at organising other volunteers and patols, encouraged participation across organisations and agencies and has been a stalwart contributor at fishery enforcement events. He has also played a key role in enabling communication between other volunteer bailiffs which has helped co-ordinate action and brought the team together. 

Kevin Pearson, Regional Enforcement Manager for the Midlands said “Lee is a full-time security officer and a family man with commitments, yet he always finds time to support the work of Angling Trust in many other ways, such as organising family fishing days and coaching youngsters through his local angling club, in which he is the head bailiff and a committee member. I consider Lee to be a reliable and dedicated volunteer and taking all of these assets into account I consider Lee to be a worthy candidate for this award and I commend this nomination”.

MAY IS PARTYPOKER FISH’O’MANIA XXIII CHAMPION

13/7/2016

In a hard fought final played out in some tough conditions, local man Andy May finally got his hands on the coveted Fish’O’Mania as he held firm to take the title in the closing stretch.
It was the Middlewich man’s third attempt at fishing’s big one and he fought off Kerry Kirkwood and Ross Harold to land the £50,000 prize.
With torrential rain all morning, it was a hard proposition for the 16 man field who had all won through the previous day at Cudmore in more benign conditions. It was Kerry Kirkwood, the eventual runner up, who lead after the opening two half hourly weigh-ins, before May assumed the lead after the third.
That last until the halfway mark when Essex man Ross Harold surged into a lead after a sparkling half hour. He maintained that over the next hour and looked in a string position for victory but the last 90 minutes of the match belonged to May as he dug in to win by three-plus kilos.
