Ticket winner forfeits place for terminally ill friend.
A prize winner, who bagged himself an invite to fish Kevin Nash’s Church Lake, has given his place up to his terminally ill friend. He won the prize in a competition run by Kevin, following the launch of his first major book this Christmas. Entitled Memoirs of a Carp Fisher; The Demon Eye, the book has been massively well received and is set to be a classic.  

To promote the book,  10 ‘ Golden Tickets’ have been put up to fish Kev's stunning Church Lake – which is famed for its large stock of 50lb+fish.  

The first ticket winner, Mick Richards, couldn't believe his luck when he won.  Friends were texting and phoning to congratulate him, and he thought it was a wind up, as he had never won anything before in his life.

Now Kevin informs us that Mick has asked if he can give his ticket up in favour of his friend who has terminal cancer.  Kev commented "Isn't this a great story that humbles you.  Our wonderful sport of carp fishing can bring so much comradeship as well as moments of happiness."

There are still eight Golden Tickets up for grabs for a five day session on Kevin Nash's legendary Church Lake.  All carpers who buy Kevin's book, Memoirs of a Carp Fisher The Demon Eye at the following shows will be put into a draw the day after each show, and the lucky winner will be on his or her way to the Church in July 2013.  

In addition there will be a super draw for three Golden Tickets on Monday 25th March 2013 for all those who purchased a copy of The Demon Eye by telephoning the office on 01702 233 232 or via the websitewww.tunarollpublications.co.uk
