  4. Looks like it's going to be a miserable day weather wise on Sunday! Do you really want to sit around in the cold and damp of a jubilee street party/fete when you could be in the comfort of an air conditioned hotel ? No? Well the Barbel Show at Hinckley could be your saviour, why not come along, only £10 on the door and you may get to chat to Dave Harrell, Phil Smith John Wilson and many more.
  5. We pleased to be able to advise those coming, or thinking of coming along to the Barbel Show with their wives/partners and children, that we have agreed with the hotel management, special rates for use of their leisure facilities. The swimming pool, gymnasium, spa pool, steam room and sauna are available at the cost of £8.00 per adult and £5.00 per child for the day of The Show. See you there
  6. Thanks for the comments Graham. It became apparent that £20/£30 was just a bit too much for people to bring along their partners, even with John Wilson and Dave Harrell in attendance. Add to that the cost of fuel it was a no brainer to drop the extra's. Not setting up a hecklers corner by the way, we leave that to the Forums
  7. As a result of enquiries on what after all is a long family weekend it has been decided, that along with Juniors, wives/partners will now be able to gain entrance to The Show on the one ticket of £10. Hope to see some of you there, you may have the chance to chat to John Wilson and Dave Harrell and many other top name anglers as they will be there all day.
  8. I have to say I'm more inclined to accept Emma's suggestions, than some of those put about concerning the otter!
  9. Right, where were we, ah yes the following link is on barbel handling and is a short film produced for the Barbel Society by mR Hugh Miles.
  10. It is thought that the Wensum had barbel from the post-glacial period, but ther's nobody still alive to confirm that! I can only conclude that Andy is trying to flog his horse that has been put to rest by most many......many.....many times!!

  12. Andy, the opening sequence were Wensum barbel. And Elton is not the only one, I have too and I don't know about you, but some people like something hard in their hands! A certain Mr Walli s captured over 60 barbel at the Royalty fishery in September 1933 does that help a bit ? He certainly didn't have any problems with access!!
  13. Thanks Elton that's excellent and much appreciated. Andy, we haven't set the price yet, but it'll let everybody know when we have them ready.
  14. Quite right lutra, it's should be standard practice for all species. BUT, we are the Barbel Society that's why our emphasis is on barbel! We'll leave it to the other specialist groups to do their own thing for their favourite species if they wish The written Barbel Handling Code produced by the Society is accepted practice for many clubs and associations where barbel are likely to be caught in their waters.
