We are being very selective about the shows we attend this summer - basically we are only going to those shows where the food and fishing are excellent. So, next on our itinerary is the famous SIM Fly Festival at Castel di Sangro in Italy on 24/25th June. We are having to fly to Italy so will not be carrying a very large stock, so if there are particular books that you would like us to bring please let us know as soon as possible. While Paul and Ceri are in Italy, Luke and Alyona will be enjoying the delights of the Northern Ireland Game Fair at Shanes Castle. With Peter Gott of Sillfield Farm and chef Emmett McCourt there they won't go hungry - and Paul is a little jealous of Luke's chance at the dollaghan.
The following weekend Paul will be in the new fishing pavilion at the Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace. He won't have a huge stand and will take mostly flyfishing books, so again, if you want him to bring any specific titles let him know in plenty of time.
The Game Fair this year is at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire. We will be going in force as usual. Our stand number is G1088 and we are right at the heart of the site - as, for the first time, is the fishing area.

The 2011 revised edition now available at an excellent price.

The author gives a detailed account of his exploits, with an analysis of the approach and techniques which have brought him this success. A book which quickly established itself on the serious carper's wish list.

These four new titles should be with us in the next couple of weeks. We will not be getting large numbers now so it may be worth you reserving your copy now.
