Irish International Fly Fair

Roy usually posts the ad for this but like Andy mentioned in another thread he's having some PC problems just now.
For most of you guys it'd be a bit of a trek but for any Irish or UK members I'm sure it'll be well worth the trip. I'm reliably informed there's some great fishing in the area too... once you've enjoyed the Fair that is.

Formerly known as The Killyleagh Fly Fair this year it's grown bigger than before and been re-branded to reflect this.

Ladies and gentlemen ... Drum Roll ...
The Irish International Fly Fair
Killyleagh, County Down, Northern Ireland. 3rd & 4th July 2010.

Once his connection is back up and running Roy will be able to tell you how good the show has been over the last few years, until then you can check out what's happening on the website.

A few members from here will be tying at this years fair, should be a great weekend.

All proceeds from the Fair go to the Dibney River Conservation Trust who are doing a lot of good work bringing the river back to the condition it deserves to be in and helping educate the local youngsters about the river and it's wildlife. Hopefully bringing new blood to the world of fly fishing in the process.

I'll be there in spirit...Looks like a great event :bigthumb:
