Memorial fishing day reels in the cash


The 10th annual Carl Panton memorial fishing day raised more than £3,500 for charity.
Carl, a keen fisherman from Sleaford, died from leukaemia in 2007, aged 24.
Each year, his family organise a memorial fishing day, and have raised more than £20,000 for Bloodwise – a blood cancer charity – over the last decade.
