Good afternoon everyone. Given Covid *Delta* has put us in lock down again, we hope you are all being safe and staying within your bubble whilst also respecting and supporting those essential workers whom are out there putting themselves at risk in order to provide us with services we all require.
Ideas while in lock down - get your rods and reels out, set the brake, give them a nice polish - give your lure hooks a sharpen and replace those a little worse for wear,- practice tying baits, drag them through your swimming pool to test your skills?? just a thought.
We have a name change this year due to the sharing of major sponsor dollars now provided by Metalcraft and Akarana Timbers Marsden. Both of these companies fall under the banner of United Industries whom also provide the necessary sponsorship for most Team points. A huge thank you to them for supporting the competition 2022. New name is
**Metalcraft/Akarana Marsden Cove Marlin Classic**
**Tickets - available on line 1st Sept 2021 via the Marsden Cove Fishing Club web page. Unfortunately we have had to increase the ticket pricing due to some difficulty getting prizes as stock supplies are limited, cost increases of prizes and meals (prize giving dinner) and as can be expected during tough times, declining sponsors. I am sure you will all see the benefit of a few more bucks enabling us a continuance to provide good prizes.
**Sponsors -We have 2 new sponsors so far **TAKACAT** inflatables have sponsored a 3.0m inflatable.
OKUMA rods and reels. We also thank New Zealand Steel, Garmin, Warren Hay, Suzuki,Thermakraft, Konnect, Burnsco, DTF, Marsden Print, as confirmed returning sponsors.
**SPONSORS** - If anyone from last year still considering continuance, we hope you see fit to continue with this worthy competition providing entertainment during tough times.
We welcome all new sponsors that can assist increasing the prize list and promoting your business as i am sure anglers will support you in return. Email your interest to [email protected] please and thank you.
Well, thats taken a few hours of my time deciding what to write and you for reading, I hope you have found this informative, I:ll sign off and let you go back to the couch or whatever and see you next year.
Just before ya go, had another brain wave, must be from all the activity i"m not doing
We have a new early bird prize being a BBQ for ticket sales before Feb 1st 2022. PS, Got a note from Face Book saying this original post did not meet commerce commition requirements so $$ removed and hope this works.
Regards Paul
