The box office has opened and the countdown begun for this year’s CLA Game Fair – the world’s largest countryside event – at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire from Friday, 19 July to Sunday, 21 July. The CLA Game Fair’s organisers are predicting a huge turnout for this year’s event which celebrates the countryside and showcases the importance of field sports and country activities to the rural economy. Director Andrew Crawford said: “The CLA Game Fair is the jewel in the crown of the outdoor show calendar and is recognised nationally and internationally as the biggest countryside event of its kind, promoting all aspects of a living and working countryside. “Having missed a year, we are expecting a surge of interest and a ‘bounce-back’ effect with 1,000-plus exhibitors and a very large number of visitors.
Top matchman Gary Miller has just signed an individual deal with Maver.
Gary, one of the original Essex County team members, has competed at the very top level for a long time and is well known as the man at the front when it comes to big team events.
Currently a member of the talented Maver Image squad under Steve Clark’s management, Gary has consistently impressed many in the sport at top level and is regarded within the match fishing fraternity to be a very talented angler indeed.
Gary has been fishing since age 5 and began competing as a junior with Kings Arms & Cheshunt aged 10.
Guest blogger, Dale Calvert, recollects a recent practice session at his local Wrightington Fisheries.
A lovely clear but frosty, cold morning up here in the North West. A much desired session in cold water for skimmers has been on the cards for a few weeks so I decided to pack the van up full of my gear and head off the Wrightington to give the canals a work out.
Upon arriving I can see ice has formed on some of pegs.

Cast Northwest Unveils UK’s First Indoor Fishery!The UK’s first indoor fishery has been opened by Lancashire based angling charity, Cast Northwest. The venue, which is housed inside a giant greenhouse, provides the charity with the facilities that it needs to teach children about the art of angling in all weathers. The venue was the brainchild of project co ordinator, Neil Farnworth, who has been using his scheme to help children who have dropped out of full time education for the past seven years. The indoor lake is the latest part of the project, and allows Neil and his term to continue their good work, even in inclement weather conditions.
