Incorporated with Let's Travel Fair 2006
May 11-14, 2006, Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur
The 4th Angling & Outdoor Recreational (AOR) Fair 2006, organized in conjunction with the Let's Travel Fair 2006 (together with our sister magazine) at the busiest shopping malls in the city, the Mid Valley Mega Mall, from 11 to 14 May 2006, will again be the centre stage of the angling sector in the country.
The event, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, will be officiated by the Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai on 11th May 2006 at 11am. The 4-day event is open daily from 11am to 8pm.
Led by the ambitious participation of TCE Tackles (15 booths), Shimano/Oriental Fishing Tackle (10 booths), Pure Fishing Malaysia (4), Chop Hock Heng (4), Siow Chiang, Sang Lin, Mighty Fishing, Sure Catch Tackle, as well as Edaran Tan Chong Motors and Malaysian Harmony, the annual tackle fair also continue to witness the participation of Explorer Marine Centre, Universal Fitness & Leisure, Mercury Marine, Borneo Technical, A Famosa Resort, D'Paradise Tropika Fruit World and many newcomers and outdoor related companies such as Alu-Alu International, LeRun Industry (bicycle specialist) and Delta Rover (rock climbing specialist).
As at today, all the booths have been taken up.
More tackle & outdoor booths this year
It is glad to note that in terms of number of booths taken up, the fishing tackle and outdoor equipment sectors this year have both exceeded that of last year. With about 100 booths showcasing a diverse range of fishing, outdoor and travelling products and supporting services, the show is indeed an event that should not be missed by any angler and outdoor lovers, hardcore or otherwise.
This year, we also witness an unprecedented number of supporting government and non-government fishing-related organizations. The organisations include:
- Ministry of Agriculture
- Malaysian fisheries Department
- Malaysian Angling Association (PeMM)
- International Game Fish Association (IGFA)
- Malaysian Fisheries Society (MFS)
- Malaysian Surfcasting Club (MSC)
- Kelah Action Group Malaysia (Kagum)
This year, the show is expected to attract a lot more anglers, visitors and new faces to its exhibition floors. The past events had drawn the interests of visitors and traders from foreign countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, China, Korea, Australia, and even Europe, and more of their activities are expected this year.
The superb venue of Mid Valley naturally ensures the presence of a wide spectrum of visitors of all communities and races, and this advantage will be fully exploited to turn the Tackle Fair into a must-visit not only for the fishing fraternity, but anyone who has the slightest interest in this recreational sport.
RM50,000 worth of lucky draw prizes to be won
Towards this end, many angling and outdoor related programmes and forums will be organized (see programme attached). Games and contests with fabulous prizes worth more than RM50,000 will be carried out in conjunction with the Fair, which we intend to make it the most crowded ever. Remember to bring along your May issue of Rod & Line or Pancing to entitle for the lucky draw, or subscribe on the spot for the same entitlement
Rock-climbing for beginners
For those who are interested in rock climbing, Delta Rover will be setting up a rock climbing wall in the exhibition hall for the beginners and outdoor lovers to rough it out, free of charge.
Plenty of free gifts and offers for early birds
Sponsored by the exhibitors, there will also be plenty of free gifts to be given away everyday during the 4-day exhibition, especially to the early birds. The free gift and discount coupons are issued together with the May issue of Rod & Line and Pancing, which are available in the first week of May 2006.
