THIS YEAR'S Chatsworth Angling Fair, to be held over the weekend of October 20-21, features more new attractions and stars than ever before. Also hoping to appear is comedian Bernard Cribbins, a keen angler since boyhood. Children aged 14 and under are admitted free if accompanied by an adult.
Car parking is also free.
Now I am glad to announce that the dates for next year's fair have already been fixed. It will be held over the weekend of May 18 and 19, 2002. The rivalry promises to be pretty hilarious. Limiting them to artificial versions should even up the fish-catching odds between the two teams. But he will soon become even more widely known - as an angling performer in his own right.
