Mallory Park Fisheries

We will be opening during our close season to hold the third running of the Ivan Marks Memorial Match. This is open to anglers of all standards and offers a great opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the top anglers from around the country, including England Internationals.

This event will take place on Saturday 19th May and Sunday 20th May and will be fished at the Glebe and on Foundation Lake, with 120 pegs on each day. As of 13th April there are no tickets left for the Saturday and only a few tickets left for the Sunday - if you want to fish the Sunday you need to get your entry in quick!

The angler recording the biggest weight on either day will receive the Ivan Marks Memorial Trophy, which was won last year by Andy Towers with an incredible 154lbs. The 45-year-old trophy was the first major trophy Ivan won and once again it will be presented by Linda Marks and her son Chris Marks.

Entry is £20, all of which goes to the Ivan Marks Memorial Fund, and there will be optional pools on both days with payouts spread to give everyone a chance of some winnings.

Cheques should be made payable to 'Ivan Marks Memorial Fund' and sent to:

Please enclose a stamped addressed envelope for confirmation of booking, your official ticket, fishery rules and details of local accommodation.

The draw on both days will be at the Glebe from 8.30am to 9.30am and fishing will be from 11.00am to 4.00pm.

Catering, including breakfasts and refreshments, will be available in the marquee at this two day spectacular event, and guests/spectators are welcome to visit the Glebe to watch their favourite anglers in action, see the fantastic flora and fauna, and have a go at winning some special prizes in the mega raffle!
