tWELCOME..
It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome everyone to this fantastic venue. Bolsena is, without question, one of the finest lakes in Europe and we are delighted to be here once again to renew our acquaintance with you all and the lakes magnificent carp. It has been an incredible year for
us with lots going on. It all started directly after the event, when the 2013 champions arrived back home in the Netherlands to discover a wonderful street party and reception waiting for them. What a start that was to their amazing journey throughout this past year. Of course, Lizette and Bianca are back to defend their title and I wish them both the very best of luck. On a personal note, I met up
with lots of great anglers at angling shows all over Europe and I’m very pleased to say that a great many new friendships were forged along the way. This year, I am very proud to say
that industry giant Shimano will join Dynamite baits as Global event partners. As the event goes from strength to strength, year upon year, it naturally follows that so too does the interest from the tackle trade. With an impressive portfolio of successful events behind it, the World Carp Classic attracts huge interest throughout the year, both outside and from within the sport. The World Carp Classic global media platform is now immense and on a level that no other carp-angling event has ever achieved. The now traditional Qualifying
events have been a great success and have, this year expanded to include
Ukraine, UK and Denmark. This list is in addition to the existing participating countries and, further to the event itself, ensures that there is focus upon the World Carp Classic all year round. During the course of the year we
ran a 10 part live TV series with top carp anglers putting in an appearance and this was followed up recently by the Bolsena Live program where we captured some amazing underwater footage of a 23kg carp being caught. As much as we love Bolsena the
World carp Classic is moving to France next year so for the moment we say Thank you Bolsena and we look forward to coming back again soon
