In fairness it says bugger all about casting Marc, although fishing is mentioned I am sure.

yeah, somewhere between dogs and big 4x4 tyres... 
"Fishing and working dog demonstrations will also play a key part – and negotiations are underway with a number of motor vehicle manufacturers."

Whether angling has a big presence or not the thing is that at least the idea of that sort of show lives on, and that's a good thing IMHO.

Personally I think the future of angling at shows lies in its own event - if it works for fly tying it can work for angling as a whole.
We'll see. I have a cunning plan but neither the time, contacts or money to make it happen.
It was ever thus

Seems we possibly have a 'UK Game Fair' at the NAEC Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on 22nd to 24th July 2016 ..... and a 'Great British Game Fair' at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire on 22nd to 24th July 2016 ?

The Belvoir one looks good, here is hoping they get the pricing right.

.................. and resurrected as 'The Game Fair'?

‘New investors have secured the future of the 58th Game Fair, keeping the Game Fair team intact who, together, hold the extensive experience required to put on this iconic event. Ragley Hall, Warwickshire has been confirmed for 29th – 31st July 2016 and for 2018 when we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Game Fair.

An expansive overhaul is planned to ensure the Game Fair moves forward in the right direction, giving visitors, exhibitors, organisations and partners the opportunity to be part of the annual countryside event in a way which enhances their business and experiences.

New affordable pricing structures for visitor tickets and exhibitor stands will be announced in due course, along with new memberships, VIP options, camping and hospitality enabling all to enjoy the event in their own way…

The Game Fair’s Event Director Tony Wall said; “following the devastating news the CLA announced last month we are all, as a team, delighted to be part of the continuation of the Game Fair, keeping it on the original planned 29th – 31st July at Ragley Hall is just fantastic.”’
