Welcome to the World Carp Classic


It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to the World Carp


Classic 2010. When I fi rst set out all those years


ago to hopefully provide something new and special to the world of carp angling, I could never have envisaged in my wildest dreams that it would become the truly global event that it has. Neither could I have imagined that it could ever create the excitement, and generate the electricity and ambience that it does.


More importantly, it gives me enormous pride to know


that the title of World Carp Classic Champions is so very highly regarded, from all quarters of the globe. Such is the camaraderie among anglers that the event has become so much more than being just about the fi shing, it has become a celebration of carp angling, an annual festival to look forward to. This aspect I can lay no claim to, as that is all down to the


attitude of the participants, and I’m extremely pleased to say that many, lasting friendships are forged during the event. It is with this in mind that I would like to thank each and every one of you – it is you who makes this event so very special. This year, the competition has once again metamorphosed,


with the addition of qualifying events. Led by the increasingly huge demand for places and to keep the event as fair, balanced and inclusive as possible, the National Qualifi ers were born.


‘My congratulations go to all of


the anglers who have won through via the qualifi ers’


Out of necessity, this new element was introduced for the


fi rst time this year, and it produced some incredible results on the fi shing front with one qualifi er, the Spanish event, producing no less than 1,595lbs of carp between the competitors! As with the qualifying anglers or, perhaps more to the point, those participants who are about to experience the unique atmosphere of the event for the very fi rst time, I hope that you enjoy the experience. All that remains for me to say is a massive thank you to


all of the event partners, sponsors and support teams, with a special mention for Title sponsors, JRC, and Team sponsors CarpConnections whose help and support have once again been vitally important. It would be remiss of me not to thank the Students and Tutors of Sparsholt and Shuttleworth Colleges led by Event Head Marshal Andy Chambers and the rest of the WCC Team, whose help is incalculable. Good luck in the draw, have a great time


catching plenty of big carp, and when I see you next it might be up on stage to present you with the World Carp Classic Champions trophy and winner’s cheque!
