nope it states "Only Anglers who genuinely live in Northumberland may enter only "so even rob cant as far as I can tell .
Newcastle is Tyne and wear .

Hi There,

At the moment it is only anglers who live in Northumberland. There are several reasons for this.

We want to try and encourage Newcomers, Ladies and Juniors to enter and not have too many "Big Names" fishing so the more average angler has a chance of reaching the final and getting a prize.

If the idea takes off then perhaps Durham, Tyne and Wear and Cumbria may follow with there own "Championships" which could then progress to an inter county match.

Hopefully it will take off and if not we may open up the entries to "outsiders"

Best Regards

shame robbie, at least you tried , think there might be too many comps at the minute

Hi robbie insted of cancelling it why don't you invite some other lad for out side northumberland just to make the numbers up???

Make it Northeast rather than Northumberland, I am certain it would fill fast and probably just from here, and the partner site Northeast Stillwaters on Facebook.

Hi There,

Many thanks for the suggestions but the event is now cancelled.

There was only one entry.......................... so it is unlikely that we would have enough even if it were opened up.

Best Regards
