What time dose it start?
I might be able to tie a dive in at Stoney Cove in the morning (I have to drive passed the hotel to get to the dive centre), then go to the hotel later on. Its only 10 mins away. Are there tickets on the door, or is it in advance only? Steve |

I will be there, and hopefully meet a few more BFW'ers. Please say hello.
I'll be on hand to advise on casting and using a c'pin at the Show if any you are going - lunchtime at the lake, just hope the weather is better than last year 
If you can't cast then come along and try it, if you can cast then come along and heckle  . If you just want to chat then fine, do that.
paul4 <edit> ps. Oh, just noticed this was my 4000th BFW post - glad it was about centrepins and not just
