It's all go out there today!

Not long now, think of it as a huge tackle shop that you can wander around for hours getting a few deals some useful and informative advice and best of all nobody will think you're a shoplifter for spending so long in there!!! :D

I was there today, very impressed. Got a discount on waders from southside. I think most stands will give you a discount, considering you have paid entry. So buy 50 quid worth of gear, I'd expect to pay 35/40

Really enjoyed Jims presentation myself, your enthusiasm is infectious and the hands on approch was just great... Henry was also a must see, that fella oozes crazy angler from every pore... I was banging my head off the dividing wall waiting for Bob Nudd to finish his course fishing talk so Henry could get on!!! lol...

Some crowds at the show today, great to see it so successful! I personally tarted it up with a load of new SPs, a Zaltz LRF Rod, and an Exage 1000 reel to name just a few bits...

Good to meet Paul Harris, true gent!

Ps. JimC, I hope those low life scumbags who broke into your Car get their just deserts! My mate Davy had his L200 broken into in broad daylight at the show today also... some people have no shame.
