Hi Sorry been a while since the last post but what with the incredibly cold weather and various illnesses that I have had I haven't had the opportunity to go. Today Aoibheann and I had the chance to pop down to Farnborough to The Big One Show.
The first angling celebs we came across was Dean Macey (Twitter @DeanMacey) and Tom Dove (Twitter @TomDove11).
Then we came across arguably two of the best match anglers in England Steve Ringer (Twitter @SteveRinger) and Adam Rooney (Twitter @AdamRooneyGuru).
A massive thank you must go to Ian Russell from Avid Carp who not only was happy to pose with Aoibheann but he also pulled out a cardboard cut out of the Carp in the picture below which looks excellent.
We then came across Keith Arthur (Twitter @SkyTightLines) from Sky Sports Tight Lines.
We had to wait a few minutes to get a snap with Mick Brown but a huge thank you to the chap in the background who gave Aoibheann a free hat (I also got a free hat and t-shirt :) )
I didn't realise from the telly how huge Iain Macmillan is but what a friendly bloke gave Aoibheann a pen and he really laughed at me getting her to say "Sausages" so she doesn't smile like she has a screw loose.
I think though the few minutes we spent with MBE and 4 time world coarse angling champion Bob Nudd made our day. Not only did he sign Aoibheann's DVD but he commented how confident she was. Absolute magic.
I also bought Aoibheann a couple of raffle tickets and she one some Sonubait new plum baits as shown below with the winning ticket :). To be fair though she really really likes her carp pillow too :).
