The Angling Trust is a fantastic organisation that makes a really positive difference to fishing in the UK. With a multitude of incentives to get fishing, inspiring the next generation to get out on the bank, you can understand why we desperately need them to keep doing what they are doing. To that end, each year the Angling Trusts hosts a charity auction whereby angling clubs and tackle traders donate items in order for the proceeds of the auction to go to the Trust. With a wide variety of goodies for just a few pounds to several thousand pounds on offer, there is something for everyone.

This year, Sean Simms Fishing Tackle donated the current, full set of Children's fishing books for this cause, as just a small thank you for the work that the Angling Trust does. As the month-long auction drew to a close there was some heated bidding on many of the lots, and the books bundle made a grand total of £30, which far exceeded the £19.99 RRP for the set.

it's those kind people out there, actively paying more for these items to show their support for the Angling Trust, that demonstrate what great camaraderie we have within our angling community. Congratulations to all those who won their lots, and a huge thank you to everyone for their spirited bidding for this great cause!
