Swords Show Meet?

#1 Post by Drew »

Hey Guys!

I'm sure plenty of us will be at the Angling Expo in Swords Feb 2011.
How about we organise a time, and a place to meet for forum members?

Are Sportscast there this year? If so we could make a point of all being there at a certain time?
They're usually to be found wanging leads up a field during the show? We've got a month to plan this so, all the time in the world.

God grant that I may live to fish, For another rainy day.
But when my final cast is made, I then most humbly pray.
When nestled in your landing net, As I lay peacefully asleep.
