WCC Event Details

For its 26th edition, World Carp Classic remains at its birthplace the magical record-breaking Lac de Madine in France. The event will be taking place from the 23rd to the 28h September 2024

Each year demand for places far exceeds those available and this year will be no exception, especially following the huge success of our 25th anniversary celebration edition.

Priority invites are time-sensitive. Don’t miss your chance, check your spam/junk folders especially if you took part in the 2022 and not in the 2023 event as you are being given special priority.

 

A WCC VIP list mad-dash is scheduled on the 12th of October 2023 at 19:00 PM to ensure at least the presence of some you who have greatly contributed to the making of the event to be once again with us.

To remain true to our philosophy of being inclusive, we will also have an early November a mad-dash for 2 places for anyone on the information list.
