The BCFSA would like to thank West Coast & Watchet for runing the open on our behalf.

The Blue Anchor Hotel and staff for allowing us to sign in at their Hotel.

Oliver's Angling for sourcing the prize table.

Veals and Thyers and all those who donated to the raffle.

And most of all the Anglers who fished because without you there wouldn't be the open.
