Hook Up With The West Yorks Police Angling Competition - 05-07-2007

Budding anglers are being urged to act fast to get their hooks into West Yorkshire Police's 14th annual fishing competition.

The closing date for applicants is Monday 30th July and only 10 intermediate places for under 18's on the day of the match and 25 places for under 15's still remain.

The last places are expected to be netted quickly as a day's fishing with the David Beckham of the angling world, Bob Nudd is at stake.

The four times fishing World Champion and England Squad World Champion has cast his support to this years event which takes place on the Calder/ Hebble Canal, Horbury, Wakefield on the 4 August.

Force Photographer David Speight is organising the event and thinks people should not pass up the opportunity to get involved:

"This year, four lucky anglers will be able to fish with Bob Nudd MBE, on Tuesday 21st August 2007, in addition to a range of fantastic prizes at least down to third in section. Last year everybody got a prize, however, this relies upon levels of donations this time around and prizes are not guaranteed for everyone taking part."

"Application forms can be obtained from Anne Shaw in the Community Safety department at West Yorkshire Police on (01924) 292271 or via the West Yorkshire Police website (link below)

"Places are on a first come first serve basis and all those who get a place will receive a pack with ticket and rules. Anyone who fished last year and has changed addresses since must remember that they also need to call in for an application if they wish to compete."
