I went to West Midlands Game Fair for the first time around 15-17 years ago, it was the highlight of my year. I went every year up until 5 years ago, when (forgive me, the townies started coming) and the prices shot up. I went again today thinking it may of changed.... how wrong was I!

 

Gunmakers row was a joke, I was looking for a scope for my .243, all the "5" shops had no optics! Since when does a game fair have so little choice on a gun shop?!?

 

I think Lord Bradford has got too greedy, one shop told me it cost them £6k for their stand! No wonder it's getting smaller and the overheads are being passed to us!

 

It's such a shame, it was great years ago.

A good post - I entirely agree!
