ORPINGTON Tackle & Bait are holding a Charity Fishing Competition at Hawkhurst Fish Farm in Hawkhurst, Kent on Sunday, 31st August to raise money for Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice.

Fishermen will compete for trophies based on the total weight of fish caught over six hours to raise money for the Abbey Wood-based Hospice.

The event is being organised by Orpington Tackle & Bait owner Peter Bolt, in memory of his dad, Leonard George Bolt, who was cared for by the Hospice in 2011.

The competition has sold-out but anyone wishing to be put on the reserve list should contact Peter Bolt on 01689 852 884.

The shop is also running a raffle of fishing-related prizes with all proceeds being donated to Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice. Raffle tickets are on sale from Orpington Tackle & Bait on 19 Crescent Way, Orpington priced at one pound a ticket.
