“Despite the attendance being a
bit below our expectations, due to
starting over in a new location once
again, I was absolutely thrilled with the
advancements we had in place this year
and also the feedback received from event
visitors. As always I was rushed off my
feet but had a great team behind me this
year that helped enormously with the
smooth running of the event. To have been
able to donate the tablet PC’s this year
makes me so happy and also to have
doubled the funds raised in 2010 is a
great achievement and I extend my
heartfelt thanks to every individual and
company who has come on board to support
us so far.”
DOM MORGAN (Event Organiser)

organised and brimming with interesting
attractions, angling demonstrations and
innovative products. We will definitely
be supporting ‘TBF’ for future events.”
BEN HERVEY-MURRAY (Anglers Mail)

continue to support the event into next
year and beyond.”

“What a great show. What Dom’s trying to
achieve for such a great cause is truly
humbling. I attend all the fishing shows
and ‘The Big Fish’ is an absolute blast.”
DEREK ‘THE DON’ RITCHIE (Maver consultant

Dom has set up in the face of such
