to be in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers before being medically discharged in 2004, has organised the event, the Scarborough Evening Times reports.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old collected &pound;1,800 last year in the inaugural holding of the challenge and has set a target of &pound;3,000 this time around.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;As an ex-soldier and former patient at Headley Court rehabilitation centre, giving something back and supporting our troops through an amazing sport is superb,&quot; Mr Bangert observed.<\/p>\n<p>The British Army is set to take on a team of civilians as two sets of 12 anglers go head to head, while an auction, raffle and BBQ is also being put on.<\/p>\n<p>Tackle, Carp-Talk, Carpworld, Nash Tackle and Crafty Carper are among the organisations that have thrown their backing behind the fundraising endeavour.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Samantha Thompson<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801320023-ADNFCR\"
