World Carp Classic 2007 - Book Early

Welcome to the World Carp Classic 2007- THE biggest event year on year in the carp angling calendar.

For the second consecutive year we are pleased to announce that we have secured the mystical Lac d'Orient in the Champagne region of France and home of the Bulldozer. This year promises to be another battle of the Titans for the title and the £50,000 prize table.

This is a priority invite with a loyalty early bird discount valid until the 31st March, pass that date and the price will automatically go up by a £100. You can now review the event, register yourself and make online payment securing a place into the event by following this link www.regonline.co.uk/wcc07

For 2007 we have been allocated even more space than we had last year. This is great news and to ensure a fair and unparallelled event experience we are capping the numbers at 132 places. This is 37 less than last year (the equivalent of 3 entire sections). In addition we are restricting the number of rods to 4 per pair so this will reduce the number of lines in the water by 428.

The pegging this year will be done by respected experts on the Orient including Andy Chambers, Leon Hoogendijk and the French Fishing Federation responsible for the lakes in the Orient.

The 2007 World Carp Classic will start with a fantastic opening ceremony in the tremendous hall (which is now finished) where you will be able to meet fellow anglers from all over the world and soak up the atmosphere of a real carp fest. The allocation of peg numbers will be the same as in 2006 where the wheel will be spun to see where your swim is (a little harder than last year though). This will be done prior to the gala dinner.

All anglers that are in areas that are difficult to get to will be provided with assistance by local officials and clear direction to where they are located utilising boat transport if required.

New for this year will be that all competitors will be able to go to their pegs at their leisure on Monday morning. This will ensure a much more relaxed start to the competition.

Having listened to comments from competitors last year regarding the prize table we will be providing a winner takes all for the section prizes. This modification in the prize table will also speed up the prize giving.

Full details of the event are on the event website www.worldcarpclassic.com this includes the newly released photo gallery with photographs going back to 1998, the forum and the new guess the biggest weight competition.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the mighty Orient this year. Let's hope one of the 70lbs+ giants puts in an appearance.

Tight Lines,The World Carp Classic Team
