Mallory Park Fisheries

We will be holding the fourth annual running of the Ivan Marks Memorial Match on Saturday 24th May and Sunday 25th May 2008. As usual it will be open to all anglers of any standard and offers a great opportunity to rub shoulders with star anglers from all over the country, including England Internationals.

The event will take place on the Glebe Pools and Foundation Lake. Entrants need to stipulate their first choice of the day they wish to fish as places are limited and tickets are already selling fast for the two 100 peg matches, held in memory of the legend himself, Ivan Marks … so 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 Mick Stamp with a fantastic 165lb, and, once again, will be presented by Linda Marks and their son Chris Marks. Zone winners will also receive engraved trophies.

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 out to give every competitor a good chance of winning ‘some coin’.

A substantial donation is given to the ACA (Anglers Conservation Association) out of the Memorial Fund. Ivan was always a supporter of this important charity, which benefits all anglers.

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