Start Bay Fishing Competition

We are excited to announce The Start Bay Fishing Competition to raise funds for Devon Air Ambulance.
Over the past couple of years, the combined total across both of our pubs from tap water donations is nearing our aim of raising £10,000; our long term support for the charity was started by Nigel Heath, who sadly passed away in 2019.
He was a keen supporter of the charity and adored fishing, so what better way of raising more funds than to host a fishing competition reaching across the whole of Start Bay.

For those living in Beesands and the surrounding villages, The Air Ambulance is a critical support for the area and is quite literally a lifeline to those in need. In a situation where every second counts, getting the specialist skills of their Critical Care Doctors and Paramedics is paramount. Their two emergency helicopters enable them to deliver expert critical care to patients wherever they may be.
