So we'll start off by saying a huge thank you to everyone for making this the biggest Petone Charity Fishing Competition yet!!!!
We are extremely pleased to announce that through all of your hard effort that we were all able to raise a grand total of $18,000 for both Heartkids Wellington who will be receiving $14,000 and Coastguard who will be receiving $4000.
It was a busy weekend and we'd like to thank everyone involved including all of the competitors for participating, the Charities for all of their help, the multitudes of volunteers who have made this competition what it is including the Petone Club's Committee members, Fishing Adjunct and other Club members who have given their time to the Competition.
Thank you to our partners at Hunting and Fishing Hutt Valley and Mediaworks for their efforts across not just the weekend but in helping to plan and run the event, we couldn't do it without you.
We would also like to acknowledge all the efforts of the Petone staff, all of your hard work in ensuring that our guests were taken care of across the weekend was greatly appreciated and invaluable to making the weekend go well.
So with all of that said, we would like to confirm the results for the Competition.
