New talk from Ian Hewett

In February we will welcome Ian Hewett, a lone piker, who decided to give something back to the community. He will talk about Piking, Pike Tackle and other Angling. The talk will cover Fens, Norfolk, Kent, Essex, Oxford and Irish Piking. Then Ian will give a practical demonstration of various rod and reel set ups and terminal tackle, trace spinning, depending on the experience of the Anglers. The last part will be slides from all the other fishing: Sea, Coarse, Blue Water etc.

We will enjoy his talk on Monday 17th, February, 7:30PM (assuming no laptop problems again!) in The Olympic, Beechenlea Lane, Swanley, Kent BR8 8DR (map). All anglers welcome!
