MPress have announced what they call ‘A truly exclusive gathering’ where you can meet the authors of some of the finest specialist angling books ever written, together with a unique opportunity to view some unique angling antiquities.
Come and talk to John Wilson about his latest book, ‘My Way’; discuss ‘Dace, the Prince of the Stream’, with Mark Everard; Mark Wintle will be there to talk about ‘Big Roach’; Peter Rolfe will have his ‘Crock of Gold’ book and Graham Marsden will reveal all in his ‘Angling Essays Collector’s Guide’.
Other star attractions include:
* The launch of Terry ‘Theo’ Theobald’s new book: ‘A Year on the Water’
* Unlimited angling advice from the experienced star performers
* Free valuation of your vintage fishing tackle
* Free gift and the opportunity to acquire a bargain in the angling auctions
* Direct access to sought-after limited leather-bound editions
* Six authors together on the one day for book signing
As far as antique tackle is concerned the event provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to view what the definitive reference work describes as the supreme collectors’ reel – Ustonson’s Original Multiplying Winch circa 1760’s. In addition there are also two magnificent rods dating back to the mid-1800’s and formerly the property of the 4th and 5th Earl Spencers’. Also on display will be possibly the only surviving example of a fascinating vintage crank handled ‘Worm Charmer’ – a mechanical contraption designed to attract worms to the surface.
