Irish Fly Fair Galway (Nov 2010)
The recent Fly Fair was a fantastic success and many exhibitors have already booked for next year. Speaking on the show, Grace McDermott of Mara Media (organizers) said that over 3,000 visitors came to the show over the two days. Feedback from visitors, exhibitors, casters and fly tyers has been exceptionally positive. Business was brisk for the exhibitors, with reports of good spending on the products by the highly selective visitors. Attractions included, fly tyers, casting demonstrations, angling simulator, entomology, aquarium and fish cookery demonstrations. Plans are already afoot for next year’s event and the event coordinator Stevie Munn has been flooded with compliments, http://www.irishflyfair.com/testimonials.html on his and Mara Media’s ability to launch and run the first ever fly fair in Galway.
Testimonials
What can I say the show was an absolute success, accommodation was brilliant, the layout of the event was second to none and what really blew the fly dressers away was the way we were treated to the buffet and on the Sunday the sandwiches. This kind gesture was noticed and appreciated by all.
This is definitely an established show from now on and I would even go to say it is a quality show. Stevie Munn excelled himself by being part of a professional team and I for one would like to thank each one of you for an excellent event.
It would be an honour to be considered for the next one. Once again thanks for a brilliant show
