The first North East Angling Show, which is being supported by Sunderland City Council, is being held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 15th, 16th and 17th April 2011. The show will be open to the public and will feature Game, Coarse, Carp and Sea Angling – small boats and kayaks – and other relevant exhibitors.
The venue for the show is the Seaburn Centre, which is situated on the sea front at Seaburn, Sunderland and permission has been granted by the Sunderland City Council for fly casting and surfcasting demonstrations to be held on the beach just across the road from the venue. An area of the beach will be closed off for this purpose.
The North East Angling Show is the first ’All Disciplines’ show in the North East of England. It seems that, in the past, these kinds of exhibitions were always held in the Midlands or in the South of the Country. The North East has some of the biggest populations of anglers in all disciplines of fishing than anywhere else in the Country, and this show will hopefully attract visitors who will see what the North East has to offer.
Among the exhibitors will be:
A & E ANGLING PRODUCTS ~ ACE BAITS ~ ALDIN GRANGE LAKES JUNIOR FISHING CLUB ~ ANGEL OF THE NORTH FISHING LAKES ~ ANGLING TRUST ~ BELLA VISTA HOTEL, SOUTHERN IRELAND ~ BONITO CHARTERS, SOUTHERN IRELAND ~ BOROUGH BRIDGE MARINA ~ BROOKBANK CANOES & KAYAKS ~ CARP ALLEY ~ CATS AND DOGS NETBUSTER BAITS ~ CONO-FLEX ~ DIN TUR ~ DROMAGOWLANE HOUSE, SOUTHERN IRELAND ~ FRASERS ANGLING AND OUTDOORS ~ GET HOOKED ON FISHING ~ INTRAMORE PORTA BOTES ~ LEEDA ~ NET GAIN ~ PORTSONACHAN HOTEL AND LODGES, SCOTLAND ~ ON-LINE FISHING T.V. ~ R.N.L.I AND SEA SAFETY ~ R.N.

Exhibitors will be travelling from Scotland, Wales, Southern Ireland and the south of England – right up to our local manufacturers and tackle dealers. Among the exhibitors at the Show will be stands featuring Sea, Game, Coarse, Carp, small boats and Kayak specialists. Some of the latest tackle on the market will be on show and some new products will be ‘showcased’.
There will be excellent prizes to be won on some of the stands and there will also be plenty of ‘Show Bargains’ to be bought.
Angling holiday specialists will be on hand to give you all the information you need about fishing in Scotland, Ireland and overseas.
On the beach opposite the venue, members of the North East Surfcasting Association will be giving surfcasting demonstrations. Anglers can bring their own rods and reels and be shown how to improve their distance and casting techniques
