Fishery to raise thousands for NHS nurses

ONE of the country’s biggest match fisheries has come out in full support of NHS workers who are currently fighting the virus outbreak, with plans to raise thousands for frontline staff.

Staff at Drennan Lindholme Lakes in Yorkshire have planned a one-off NHS Nurse Appreciation Day, scheduled for August 31 this year assuming venues have reopened by that date.

The event will be a fishing match of epic proportions, with the owners aiming to fill all 400-plus pegs on the 10-lake complex.

Entry will be priced at £20 per person, with £10 going into match pools for the participants and the other £10 going directly to NHS staff.
