When times get tough, angling is a great way to escape and unwind, and with the rock bottom prices at Newark Showground this weekend, the sport has never been more affordable.


N these belt-tightening times of cutbacks and economising, there is one event that can put a smile back on anglers’ faces.


For two days at Newark Showground you will


find just about every item of tackle imaginable, and all of it is being offered at ridiculously low prices. The annual pre-Christmas Sale at Newark is


an unmissable event for anglers from all over the country with the eye on an end-of-year bargain. They know that companies off-load their excess


stock once the first frosts chase many of the tackle-buying public back indoors, and want to clear their warehouses of the last of this year’s gear ready to stock up with new lines. This year, more than any other, has been one for

quite a while now and have learnt a thing or two about what we do, the quality just gets better and better. ‘The Dragon Exhibitions Tour has been


brilliant, with great attendances and really positive feedback. ‘The Doncaster show attracted the biggest


attendance for years, and the Kettering show had the biggest crowd there for years too, and it’s all because of the bargains you get. ‘But Newark will be on another level entirely,


with better deals and more bargains than ever before and everyone working harder and harder to get prices down to an unbelievable level. ‘Where else can you buy £100 rods at £10


each, free-spool carp reels from £5 each, landing nets from £2 each, £50 carp keepnets from £10 each, bivvies and shelters from £10 each, 11-metre poles from £30 each, 13-metre poles from £100, trollies from £15, and platforms and barrows from £10? You’ll have to pinch yourself to believe you’re not dreaming. ‘Everything from a packet of hooks or a


disgorger up to a baitboat or a fish-finder will be
