Six members of the recently formed Shoreham Angling Squad went to the Withdean Stadium at Brighton on Saturday 17th February to present their adopted charity, the Teenage Cancer Trust with a cheque for £331.00, this was the remainder of £628 raised for the trust from their “Live Fishathon” event held in January 2007.

Not content with just presenting a cheque, the angling club members took hold of the charity’s donation buckets and rattled them at the football supporters as they arrived to watch Brighton play Nottingham Forest. This raised a further £442.00 on the day for the charity. Bringing the total raised by the caring anglers for the Teenage Cancer Trust to a superb £1078.

Steve Smith, our club chairman said, “We have many more events coming up which will raise even more money for this worthwhile charity. I am pleased to say that we will continue to support the Teenage Cancer Trust and we will happily come back to Withdean and rattle buckets for the Trust.
