Golden Rod Championship Statement Thursday 31^st December 2020

Following the Government restrictions covering the tier system for COVID-19 announced on Wednesday 30^th December 2020, it is with great regret that we must suspend all Golden Rod Championship Qualifiers for the whole of January 2021.
Furthermore, February 2021 will also have to be reviewed should the COVID infection rates continue to rise.

It would be totally irresponsible to conduct any matches during this coming period as 80% of the country is now in tier 4 and 8 out of 10 people are now in lockdown.

We will be monitoring the situation and be looking to re-schedule as soon as we possibly can.
Tickets that have been booked for January 2021 will be honoured.

We will do our level best to re-schedule the postponed qualifiers, using the same venues and keep you all posted as best as we can with any new developments.

All matches at Larford Lakes are also cancelled, including any club or local open matches.

We must all act with responsibility to fight the infection.

Following this announcement, we will email all affected ticket purchasers separately via the supplied email address.

We wish everyone a very happy new year and hopefully a better 2021.
Stay safe.

Golden Rod Feeder Championship 2020/21

Press Release

Following on from the country being in lockdown, we have something to look forwards to. The Golden Rod Feeder promises to have several venues sellout within hours and many more sellout within 24hrs of tickets going on sale. Barston and Larford are expected to be the first qualifiers to sellout.
Qualifiers only need to beat 19 other anglers to bag a place in the final, again being hosted at Larford Lakes in March 2021.

As last years change was welcomed, we will be  keeping the payout the same with the top 10 being recognised .

The overall final prize fund-

1st will collect £10,000

2nd will collect £6,000

3rd will collect £4,000

4th will collect £3,000

5th will collect £2,000

6th will collect £1,500

7th will collect £1,000

8th will collect £600

9th will collect £400

10th will collect £300

In addition to the overall prize fund, the final will also pay £150 for the section winners each day.
There will be 6, 10 peg sections each day x 2 day final.

So in total, the prize fund will be a massive £30,600*

(*Subject to all 20 qualifiers being sold out.)

The ticket price remains the same as last year at £40

Pools (not optional) at each qualifier will remain at £20 per angler.
