  World Angling Games Italy 2011
  
  The Italian Fishing Federation has released their calendar of events for next yearâ€™s World Angling Games in Italy. The host nation will organise more than 25 different competitions all within the same week at venues throughout Italy from 28th August â€“ 4th September 2011.
  
  Coarse, game and sea anglers will converge on the historic city of Florence for the opening ceremony on Sunday the 28th of August and then go directly to the venue selected for them by the Italian hosts.
  
  More than 50 countries are expected to take part, making this event an angling spectacular the likes of which have never been seen before.
  
  A few major changes were made to some of the FIPSed rules at the recent meeting of the technical committee for the Freshwater discipline;
  
  1. The Nations, European and World Club Championships will now be of 4 hours duration.
  2. The prebaiting period has been extended to 10mins.
  3. The age limit of the under 22s has been increased to under 23 years of age.
  
  Dick Clegg, OBE, International Events Manager, said â€œItaly is a fantastic place to visit and spectators will have great time watching the teams compete. The programme of events allows followers to switch from venue to venue since the finals do not all take place on the same day unlike the opening ceremonyâ€

  I did ask them to consider your workload at the CIPS meeting Fordster… but they replied with something in Italian I didn’t quite catch. It was loud though.
  
  Something about a Van fan cooler I think….

  The venue is the Ostellato Channel about 30 km east of Ferrara.
  
  This is a direct link to Google Maps with the exact location: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Ostellato+Ferrara,+Italy+(ferrara)&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.554089,93.076172&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Ostellato+Ferrara,+Emilia-Romagna,+Italy&t=h&z=12
  
  There is a B&B directly at the venue: http://www.valliostellato.it/HTML/prezzi.html Another option is either a hotel or a B&B in the nearby village, also called Ostellato.
  
  It’s a class venue, I were there in September and watched a local competition (with 200 anglers), and the channel is absolutely stuffed with skimmers and the odd caracio.
