Hi everyone, I'm not sure how many of you have noticed this new competition from Tide Together?

It's a great new concept, which we could, if successful, see tour the entire United Kingdom. Wouldn't it be great to have a regional heat take place in Minehead? And, you never know some of you may be included in that one if it happens!!

To us, the concept is pretty self explanatory. Ten well seasoned match anglers get picked from each region, in this instance from across South Wales. The rest of us can then buy a ticket, be entered into a prize draw and if successful get paired up with one of the ten.

This is a one off match with a winner takes all scenero. Basically, you and your partner will have a one in ten chance of winning the £5000 prize!!

We know a fair bit about the competition, so if you have any questions then please ask 🎣👍
