Anglers in Scarborough will be hoping for a good catch in their fundraising matches for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
The events are taking place this Saturday (September 18th) and are organised by Wykeham Lakes proprietor Mike Heelis, the Scarborough Evening News has said.<\/p>\n
An open event takes place on the carp lake while a trout competition is held on the adjacent body of water.<\/p>\n
There will also be a BBQ to raise further funds, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, money is being raised for the charity through a fashion show in London.<\/p>\n
Entitled Fashion for the Brave, it aims to raise £1 million for Help for Heroes, the Soldiers Charity and the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund.<\/p>\n
It has already been supported by fashion icons including Vivienne Westwood, Victoria Beckham and Julien Macdonald.<\/p>\n
The show takes place at the Dorchester on October 26th and will be hosted by Angela Rippon.<\/p>\n
