The Carp & Coarse Show 2006, Wembley, London
Carp Conferences are hosting The Carp & Coarse Show 2006, with the full support of the publishers of Crafty Carper, Carpworld, International Carper, Carp -Trade, Carp-Talk, Pike & Predators and Coarse Angling Today. The decision to move the successful Carp Show, resident at the Five Lakes Country Club for the past five years, to Wembley, is proving to be the right one, as exhibitors, keen to capitalise on this wonderful opportunity, continue to book the remaining stands to showcase and retail their products. Although there has been some initial confusion with the introduction of a new show to Five Lakes, hosted by another party, dedicated followers of the Spring Carp Show are looking forward to being part of the new look show in the capital. With less than two months to go until The Carp & Coarse Show at Wembley, Carp Conferences have announced a spectacular line-up of entertainments scheduled for the weekend of April 1st and 2nd promising an exciting and entertaining weekend for all.
