Carpy trust you to find a beer tent at the Evesham Angling Festival. ;D

Anyway I might be up there this time with my mate for the tackle bargains but anyone who is also going up there is to watch out for the prices on the tackle, they might be bargains or they will be on the high side of the price. So just think really think careful what you are buying. I know some friends who have been rip off until they find later that you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

See you all up there then

I will be visiting over the weekend.
Been to the Evesham Festival for a few years.
Loads for the family to do, keeps the wife and kids happy.
Will be looking for a few bits of tackle. I am always careful Andrew. I think most anglers are aware of the going rate of tackle they are looking for.

I will be taking a visit. Yes i still call it the John Smiths. The Avon was a prolific venue 20 years ago, and declined.
It seems to be picking up again, fish starting to show, on all stretches of the Avon. Only hope it continues.
Got no money to spend so it will be a family day out.
Might catch you thier.

Going with Dave and Eddie. If you are going on the day, say hi. We can meet up.

Meet at the beer tent Frank? ;D

Well, I be going to it but don't know what day it will be because hopefully will be going to Bicester, Oxfordshire on Saturday for a certain fishing items I am after at the tackle shop!(Been waiting for this fours months now since they came out on the market) If the tackle is not in then it will be likely comming over to Evesham then!

But if the tackle is in then it is Sunday (the best weather day) me be there with my friend Alec who is looking for an advice on the carp/pike tackle to get!

So Hopefully see you all somewhere in the Beer Tent

[anglerpaul]

Andrew give them a ring. if they have the tackle, go down Sunday. you have waited four months. for it one more day wont hurt. Saving money at the Evesham show, you say watch for bargains, How much are you paying for yours. Traveling all the way to Oxford. To get tackle. Get him to stick it in the post, Save your petrol.
Catch you at the beer tent.

[Andrew Burgess]

Anglerpaul, Well I took your advice to ring the shop but still went down! The fishing items was only a few left in the shop but selling out fast and also being reduced as well I have seen it in the carp magazines and it not the same as seen it in real and was desperate to get one as the foul weather broke the last one. so I still went down just after 9.30am and was back by 12.00pm not a bad journey as well brought a few more bits and pieces ;D

Well it look like I am and my mate will be going tomorrow so anyone there want advice of me on the tackle to buy - I be there after 12.30pm in the beer tent if there one

[Carpy]

Beer tent You bet Andrew.
Went up today with dave, eddie and jeff. Had a great day.
Wanted to get a umbrella, a good one with side cover.
Wow Seen a Wychwood Specialist Umbrella, fits the bill.

Selling at fosters of b'ham Special offer £99.99 to £79.99
To day they had them on sale for £35.00
Me dave & jeff wanted one. So we ask if we buy 3 whats the price. He comes back and said 30.00 each
Well pleased.
Catch you their tomorrow

In it an old funny old world as Carpy and I must be thinking of the same thing in different part of England

Carpy went to Evesham to get an Umbrella and came back with this



The reason I went to Bicester was that I was looking for an new umbrella as I did have an old Relum Brotel and was getting old and offered no rain protecting. So it was time for a new one.

my choice was this



The next generation of umbrellas, Frank

Got a really fair price for that one! ;D

Carpy did you get a set of mini storm poles for you side protection of your umbrella?
