The Winners…
KAI tell us: Sunday May 29th 2016
What a fantastic day! Today saw the very first Fishing for Pieta event in Oaklands lake New Ross. 56 anglers came together to raise awareness to mental health issues in Ireland, people and clubs from all over the country came together to show support for Pieta!
Our target was 1500 euro but we smashed it by raising over 4000 euro, it will be a few days before the full tally is in but a huge well done to anyone and everyone that showed their support”!!!!!
A massive thanks to Oaklands lake for allowing us to decend upon them!, To Gavin Walsh Sensas Ireland for some amazing prizes, Derek Talbot from Main Irish Angling again for amazing prizes. The lads at Anglers World Fishing Tackle, Range River Mountain Southside Angling, Irish Bait and Tackle Limited. Bullmans Tattoo-Studio for an amazing voucher which we will be auctioning off on the page. And to anyone else who has had a part… I would have to write a book to name everyone.
Again from everyone at KAI, we thank you so much for helping and supporting us in our work and helping us getting the word across! Also a big thank you to John Flynn from Inland Fisheries Ireland for all his help, at @Fishing For Pieta
John is a Gentleman & we had the pleasure of his company & some great fun with him as he conducted the weigh ins for our event.
Killinarden Angling Initiative
KAI was set up in March 2014 in Killinarden, Tallaght. Its principle aims are to promote, develop and improve angling in the Killinarden and the greater west Tallaght area and is affiliated with the National Coarse Fishing Federation Ireland. During the summer months the main work of the initiative is taking young people from Killinarden on fishing courses .The Initiative has also been a catalyst in setting up a children’s and Adult fishing club in Killinarden for many of these young people and giving them a hobby they can enjoy for life.
Go fishing…
