Flag parade..
Please remember to bring your national flags along with you for the flag parade, which will take place just prior to the opening ceremony. Be proud that you are representing your country in an international event! Upon registration at HQ, you
will be provided with a wristband to aid event officials to instantly identify you as a competitor. It is important to wear the identification bracelet at all times. You may be denied access to important proceedings unless you are easily identifiable, such as the opening ceremony and draw!
Keep your distance!
Top marks to leading Italian company, Milo, who will be providing the event distance marker buoys this year. Milo join us this year for the very first time and it is our pleasure to announce Milo as a support sponsor. Contestants are reminded that there is
a 200 metre limit to place lines this year. The distance will be clearly defined by the large marker buoys set all around the fishing zones just beyond this distance so that they do not interfere with your fishing. *Please read, digest and adhere to all
event rules, ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable excuse for breaking them. Please be aware!
Emergency procedures ..
In any situation where emergency services are required (See boat rule K01). Anyone who experiences
problems of a concerning or emergency nature, either on board or overboard in the water, should immediately use their whistle to alert people on-shore. (See boat rule K02) Anyone
on-shore must immediately advise in this order: HQ if marshal(s) not already on-site (dedicated distress phone number provided), Neighbouring swims and relevant Local authorities (emergency phone number provided) For all other, non boat related
general emergencies, please phone the HQ and inform them of the nature of the emergency and who is involved, the exact location, i.e. your peg number, and provide your name and contact number.

LIFETIME AWARD FOR TIM PAISLEY ...
Tim has been a tremendous ambassador for the world of carp angling for many years, and it was fitting that this Lifetime Award was presented to Tim, greeted by a standing ovation, during the 2011 opening ceremony at Madine. Tim, very accustomed to public speaking, was left unusually speechless on this occasion, visibly moved by the gesture. Congratulations, Tim, the world of carp angling may well have turned out quite differently had you not influenced it in such a positive manner.
