Vipa Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm going down with my boy on the Sunday. Will wear my PW badge (if it's arrived in time) rather than a pink carnation!!!! will no doubt make a couple of visits to the beer tend during the day. Wouldn't surprise me if the boy spent all day in there!!!! only seems like yesterday I was wetting his head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike25 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 sould be there tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well I just got back, bought plenty of decoying equipment: GOOD: More stalls Better parking arrangement Mostly undercover Not too muddy underfoot. BAD: No cashpoint inside - you can get money from Thomas Cook, but it takes ages Stalls still seem quite small - are traders going for the bare minimum they can get away with? On the gate tickets VERY slow. I got there at 10:30 and queued for nearly 40 minutes - only two people taking money! Would I go again? Yes, but i'll pre-order tickets.

hairyduck Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I thought it was much better than last year, loads more stalls but yes sthey weren't that big so some were mega busy. I had a quick wander round in the morning then did the rabbit challenge and had a go on the black powder clays and by the time I was ready for a proper wander in the afternoon most of the stalls were much easier to get onto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairyduck Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Not sure about yesterday but I heard one of the traders saying that they apparently sold 47,000 tickets or so online, and there was loads of people paying on the day too Edited February 28, 2010 by hairyduck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) just back, had a great day, but confused . Set off determined to like a MK38 teague sporter, but now not sure - really liked the 686E Beretta though going to try to decide next week. Good show, not too muddy, sandwiches ***** expensive as usual, but really tasty. good stands and friendly people.

edr Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Got there at about 9, i live in normal traffic 10mins away, but it took two hours to finally get thorugh the gate. According to the police they had to force the show organizer open the gate early as the traffic was already qued up at 6:30 on the A1. There was alot people and quite a big show considering it was just guns. Overall it was quite good and i shall be pre booking next year.

Whitebridges Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 All these people having a good time and all spending a sheckle. It's scandalous banning shooting is even on the agenda. I hope BASC had a field day signing up new members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
