The FISHINGmagic team will be at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre this coming weekend, Friday 23rd, Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th March, and hoping to meet as many FISHINGmagic members (and non-members) as possible.
We’ll be there for all threedays and I for one certainly don’t want to be stood there and not meet as many of you good folk as possible. I want to be chatting to you about fishing, moaning about the foot-and-mouth disease, and putting the world to rights just like we do when we’re fishing!
