Mallory Park Fisheries

We will be opening during our close season to hold the second running of the Ivan Marks Memorial Match. This event takes place on Saturday 20th May and Sunday 21st May and is open to both members and non-members of all standards.

Tickets are still available for anglers wishing to fish these prestigious 120 peg matches, held in the memory of the legend himself, Ivan Marks. The Foundation Lake and all of the pools at the Glebe will be used on both days, and this is where Ivan spent many days fishing in competitions … and winning.

Entrants need to stipulate which day they wish to fish, as places are limited. The angler recording the biggest weight on either day will receive the Ivan Marks Memorial Trophy, which was won last year by Alex Bones. The trophy is over 45 years old. It is the first major trophy Ivan won and Linda Marks and her son, Chris Marks, will present it.

Entry is £20, all of which goes to the Ivan Marks Memorial Fund, and there will be optional pools on both days for anglers wishing to fill their keepnets and boost their bank accounts!

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

Please enclose a stamped addressed envelope for confirmation of booking.

The draw will be at the Glebe from 8:30am to 9:30am on each day and fishing will be from 11:00am to 4:00pm.

Catering, including breakfasts, will be available all day on both days, and guests are more than welcome to visit the Glebe, to watch some top anglers in combat, see the fantastic flora and fauna, and have a go at winning some special prizes in the raffle!
