Make note in your diary for Saturday, September 27th to ensure you can make it to Piking 2008 at the National Agricultural Showground, Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.
We now have the full line up of speakers confirmed for what will be an even better show than last year's blockbuster. As well as Neville Fickling's Pike Panel there is an international flavour this year.
More details to follow, but for now we can tell you that Derek MacDonald will be speaking as will Graham Slater of Grantham, and from Europe there will be Michel Huigevoort of Holland and Sweden's P. A. Hogberg. This promises to be a great day with loads of pictures and tales of huge pike to whet your appetite for the start of the traditional pike season a few days later!
More details of the topics to be covered, and other activities on the day, will be posted here and on the main Piking 2008 page in due course.
See you all there!

About the PAC
The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain was formed in 1977 as a direct result of changing attitudes toward pike. For far too long pike had been regarded by fishery owners and some anglers as vermin, to be killed and removed at all costs. Since it's inception, the PAC has done much to drastically change this mistaken attitude and pike are now widely regarded as a positive element in the natural balance of any fishery.
Pike fishing has without doubt become one of the most specialised branches of coarse fishing. Not least in the methods of handling, unhooking and safe return of the fish once caught.
The PAC works continually for the benefit of all pike and pike anglers, we seek only to further the opportunities for pike fishing, whilst preserving all that pike fishing is all about.
We strive to protect pike from persecution by those who do not understand, or choose to ignore, the facts about the important role the pike plays in the balance of nature. We also work to promote pike conservation through safe practice by anglers.
