On 8th May, KentCarping held a charity event at Claygate Fishery in Marden, Kent on behalf of Fishing for Forces.
We had a wonderful day at the waterside thanks to the fantastic teams at KentCarping and Claygate Fishery, with some great fishing, a fundraising auction and even a couple of prizes.
We must also say a huge thank you to everyone who donated or bid on items in the auction – you helped KentCarping raise over £635!

On Tuesday 8th May 2012, KentCarping will be holding a charity event at Claygate Fishery, Marden in support of Fishing for Forces.
The aim for this charity event is to provide a day’s angling for approximately 20 serving soldiers or veterans teamed up with 20 volunteer anglers.
This event has been organised by Andy at KentCarping, who is himself an ex-soldier of the Royal Artillery and all too aware of the problems and situations that serving soldiers and veterans have to face. His decision to support Fishing for Forces is greatly appreciated and he has already received an overwhelming amount of support from companies and people to take part in one way or another. If you wish to take part or offer your support please contact Andy on: [email protected] or 07913 657563.
The lake has kindly been donated for the day by Dave at Claygate Fishery and as well as a day’s fishing, they hope to run a number of raffles to raise money for Fishing for Forces.
To coincide with the event on 8th May, KentCarping will also be running a number of charity auctions with all proceeds going to Fishing For Forces.
