Reel repairs! Rod restorations! Free parking! The National Vintage Fishing Tackle Fair returns to Redditch, the spiritual home of British Fishing Tackle, on Sunday 19th November.

John Andrews adds: All stalls are taken by the best dealers and collectors of antique and vintage fishing tackle, rod builders and reel makers in the country and the fair promises to be at its most convivial best. There will be a cafe serving hot tea and toasted sandwich delights. I shall be on the door and look forward to your good company.

Entry is £4 at 9am, or you can contact John as above for early Trade Entry at 7am (£15).
