BFFI 2010 Trick or Treat!

I’d like to thank everyone for making my participation at the British Fly Fair International one of the most enjoyable events of the year. It goes without saying that the organising team headed up by Steve & Bridgette Cooper should be thanked by all for making the event run so seamlessly (backed of course by the show sponsors). It is always good to see and meet friends at the show BUT it is the paying public who came to the event that I would like to thank most of all. On Saturday I started tying at 9am and got up from my chair at 5.10pm… I didn’t even have a comfort break!

Sunday was a little quieter initially but then warmed up again with a number of the trade coming over to view Bug-Bond. Sunday afternoon’s highlight was a young woman who was interested in Bug-Bond and I had her change places with me and I had her tie a basic Thunder Creek using Bug-Bond… I never did get her name but she tied a lovely head on the fly and was another facet of the weekend that was different and made it for me! If you do read this please claim your fly as I have kept it…

It was a fantastic weekend… what a buzz – thank you all for coming and visiting me at the fair, YOU made my show!

Until next year in Stoke then…
