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!
