I used to go to all the shows
often just to meetup with people for a bit of a social and after the traders got together and banned Erics angling from the Carp Society show at Sandown as he would NOT price fix they all said if he goes they would not go !!
I never went to another of their shows and now despite what ANYONE says
I only go to the big one as IMHO its the ONLY show where if you take your time you can really get some bargains
I haggle a lot and have never been and not saved a lot of money obviously people that hare round and dont take their time and study the prices will easily miss the bargains
the only thing is its a Pick Pockets paradise one guy they caught had 37 mobile phones in his bag !

The camo thing has always confused me. I've never understood why you'd want to wear it to the shows. But if it makes them happy then fine 😂😂

People that are concerned are like you camo thing has always confused me
do you thinks clever ? is your life so shallow you worry about what other people choose to wear
I mean get a life ! FFS
dont worry what others choose to wear they sure as hell are not worried what you wear and probably wont even noticed you
ITS A FREE WORLD WE CAN WEAR pretty much whatever we want to FFS !!
its laughable really whenever you get a Carp show or a ferry mentioned you get the normal sad pathetic juvenile comments
its never funny its never clever its always showing what you are

NOT DIRECTED AT YOU
point of interest
I have only worn camo a couple of times both on a Sunday when I have fished all night Sat and gone straight to a show
but if I wanted to wear a fishing coat to a show because it was a favourite coat and had lots of pockets I ****ing would and not be worried about some silly **** thinking it strange either

I'd forgot that on this forum some of the old guard don't allow an opinion unless it matches theirs. Look at my comment properly and get off your high horse.
I said it confused me, but if it makes them happy then carry on! No I don't understand why you would dress up to go fishing for a fishing show, oddly enough, I'm allowed an opinion on that, and, shock horror, sometime it might be different than yours.

there you go again ??
FFS since when as grabbing a coat that happens to be a camo pattern and one that you may go fishing or walking dog or doing whatever you the f*** you want to do while wearing it
BE DECRIBED AS DRESSING UP ? it not going to change your appearance or disguise yourself ?
OF course you are allowed an opinion ERRM SO AM I !!
clearly YOU AINT WIRED RIGHT if you think putting a coat on that you dont like is dressing up
And point of fact camo clothing is very fashionable at the moment just need to look around at the shops that are selling it and people wearing it

People wear camo to carp shows? Can't say I've ever seen them.

I'm allowed an opinion unless it's different than yours, at which point you'll start calling people silly **** etc. As I say, if people want to wear it to a fishing show, carry on! I personally wouldn't 😂😂
Enjoy the rest of your day buddy and tight lines.
