Kennington Park Angling Club - Taking part in matches

Being a club member entitles you to take part in any of the matches shown in your membership book. There are approximately 15 matches in any one season fished on both the front and back lakes, offering a range of fishing styles which include Carping, Pole, Pike and leisure.
In every match, a Golden Peg is drawn where the winner claims the accumulated cash in the kitty. In some cases this has amounted to a sizeable sum and just recently the prize stood at over £100.
Trophies are awarded to those with the highest amount of points in each of the fishing categories and these are presented at the clubs annual party.

Remember, you don't have to fish every match. Just take part in those that you can or those you think you may have a chance!

Taking part in a match couldn't be easier.
Entrance to every match is free
1. Arrive at the KPAC car park at the allotted time.
2. Pay an optional prize fund & golden peg fee
3. Individuals draw peg numbers
4. Match Secretary then draws the Golden Peg
5. Walk off to appropriate swim
6. On the Secretarys whistle, start fishing

The Match Secretary records all weights caught by those taking part.
Points are allocated to top 10 weights.
Match winner(s) receives the prize fund in cash, and should the winner also have the Golden Peg, they collect the accumulated kitty money. If not, the Golden Peg kitty is carried forward to the next match. It should be noted that all money received from entrance fees is divided amongst the prizes. No club funds are derived from match takings.

The committee recently agreed that the Golden Peg prize fund will always remain at no less than £50 for every match. This will be increased depending on the number of matches having taken place where the Golden Peg hasn't been won and a roll-over has taken place.

Prize money will be allocated accordingly depending on the amount of revenue gained from those anglers taking part in the matches. Normally, the first £1 goes towards the Golden peg kitty while the remaining £3 goes into the prize fund to be divided between 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.

Of course, the more anglers that take part in the matches, the more funds are available for prizes. Please support the club and take part whenever possible. If you think you're not up to it, you only need to look at the results so far this year to see you could easily be in with a chance!
