🎣 Tapu Camp Easter Fishing Competition Wrap-Up 🎣
What an incredible weekend we had at our Easter Fishing Competition! We officially wrapped up the event on 5 April, and it was amazing to see such a strong turnout from our community.
This year, we had 109 participants — a huge jump from our very first competition in 2024, where we had just over 40 entrants. It’s awesome to see the event growing each year!
Thanks to everyone involved, we were also able to raise $1,920 through raffles and fish auctions. These funds will go towards supporting the Tapu Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Tapu Community Hall - two very important parts of our community 👏
One of our main goals is to get kids outdoors and involved, and this year we made sure every child who entered received a prize, whether it was a main prize or a spot prize. The smiles said it all!
A massive thank you to all of our sponsors - we couldn’t run this event the way we do without your support.
