I will be there bright and early as I have decided to stay overnight this time. It's over 200 miles and a three hour trip for me so I was well and truly cream crackered last time.
Really looking forward to seeing you all there and hopefully meeting a few more of you chaps for the first time.

As mad and sad as it sounds I decided to have a trail run today. Last time I set up in a panicked rush and end up making things hard for myself and the punters. This time I have a plan 
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Eek! I have no plan and at least twice that amount to fit on my half of our tablesLuckyLuca wrote:As mad and sad as it sounds I decided to have a trail run today. Last time I set up in a panicked rush and end up making things hard for myself and the punters. This time I have a plan
I'd better get organised as with a hundred-plus reels, and a load of other stuff, my side might end up a bit overcrowded! (and no glamorous assistant to help me

Found some old posters and photos of early days in the Tackle Fair. Good luck to John and the gang for the next fair. Glad to see it is still popular.

Now that I am in possession of both butt sections of my "Chance Cane 'Roisteach Snas' " ... I shall be bringing it with me to Redditch on the off chance that someone may want to 'waggle it.'
