EVESHAM –
THE SHOW WILL GO ON !
Evesham a
town synonymous with August bank Holiday fishing festival and a friendly town
with many suitable restaurants for many hungry anglers after a long days
fishing or a days selling !
It was back
in July when I was contacted about exhibiting at this prestigious show and the
three guys running this event deserve some attention and congratulations to
take this show on and hopefully expand the show to new levels. Please always shake the hand of SEAN ASHBY ,
PAUL BOOTHBY AND ROD SCOTT . It takes commitment to take the reigns of a
project of this size and these guys proved their worth and were rewarded with
the backing of many other tackle outlets and in fact the local program book
contained many fishing outlets placing their products and notice of support.

For the three days we decided to work closely
with Phil Medhurst UK Manager of TRABUCCO on the same stall as we start to
share our dual commitment on all products we front currently.
We arrived
on the Friday late afternoon and soon we were placing our gear into position
ready for Saturday’s arrivals . Saturday came and we were not disappointed as
many anglers came to the Trabucco and Midlands Angling Supplies stall tent to
discover the many NEW products that exist within our compliment of tackle. We were so pleased the crowds were gaining
hands on with EXNER , MAURIZIO SCHIEPATTI and the best from SENSAS in the float
form.
We were
honoured to sit between Alex Clements GUNKI tent and Dave Harrells stall who
both were receiving brisk business.
The Sunday
was a bit of a wash out as the customary rain attended to make fishing uncomfortable
and the crowds were put off some what.
Monday the
BIG day came and it did not disappoint as the crowds engulfed the stalls and
business became great and the customers really hunted for those bargains.
Over the
three days I met many of my team , fishing friends and customers from my client
base.
