More pegs in Preston’s premier 2020 feeder series
Dates and venues for the 2020 Preston Innovations FeederMasters event are out – and there’s a slightly different look to next year’s qualifiers, with some of the 20 matches having their peg numbers increased to 66, meaning 22-peg as opposed to 20-peg zones.
Tickets (£35) go on sale on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 10am and, as last year, will only be available via a link that appears on the FeederMasters Facebook page on that day.
The event culminates in the two-day final at Tamar Lakes in the South West over the weekend of September 26/27.

Should match vets have more time to get set? - Keith Arthur
I used to be a regular visitor to White Acres and would be today if my circumstances were different. I know how well run all the fishing is down there which makes it very difficult for me to understand how in the recent Veterans’ Festival, only 90 minutes was allowed from the start of the draw to the ‘all-in’.
At least two great anglers, ironically both with Team England management experience, fell foul of this race to get fishing: John Weedon, who manages the disabled squad, and none other than the great Dick Clegg.
Dick at least got to fish, albeit starting very late without the all his required kit assembled: John on the other hand was disqualified for the day by having too much bait with him. He isn’t the first to fall foul of that very sensible rule but with terrible weather and the massive rush to start he forgot he had stuff already in his carryall.
Dick seems to have made the decision to not fish the event again because of the lack of time to set up, which is also very understandable. It’s sad and perhaps more consideration should be given to us veterans to prepare.
