The expert panel will comprise:

Len Arbery: All round angling legend.

Ray Walton: Unrivaled rolling meat supremo and keen conservation campaigner.

Keith Speer: King of the stick and ‘pin.

There will also be a presentation by the Thames Anglers Conservancy (TAC) who fight to protect the River Thames and its anglers and the Action for the River Kennet Group (ARK) who campaign to protect the River Kennet.

The evening will consist of an open forum where Len, Ray, Keith and the representatives from the TAC and ARK invite questions from the audience on both angling and conservation issues.

Paul Whiteing the centrepin guru, will also be on hand with a selection of ‘pins and rods for your viewing pleasure. Paul is not in the tackle trade but will have some new and used centrepins for sale.
