Salop Matt Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Either day, its the best gamefair in the country. Saturday all stock is there to be shifted but sunday maybe better deals but what you want may of already gone on saturday so makes no difference ! Iv always gone on a sunday or both days but this year will be the saturday ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENGRASS Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 L & R I will most likely be there on the Sunday all being well. You can get some good deals just make sure you can barter a little and have a good look around before you part with your money. I just hope it does not rain.

Rogan Josh Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Mostly full of the usual **** clothing and non country sports stall holders selling the usual rubbish. Prices are no better than you can achieve off the tinternet. Sometimes a lot worse. My advice is know what you want, know what you can buy it for elsewhere, and take cash. Gunmakers Row is mostly full of shoddy gun retailers. I found better deals can be had off the likes of the Guntrader web site of through the sales ads forums such as this. The site is a nightmare if it rains, being perched on that slope in front of the house. Much prefer the CLA as a day out. For the same reason why we don't go to Appleby Far fewer fat tattooed women dragging their half dozen kids around and less dogmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucky Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I thought it was a very good day out (last year) - enough of everything, plenty of demonstrations from fishing, dogs, clays etc. Not on the scale of the CLA but almost do able in a day. A good opportunity to have a look at new kit even if you don't buy anything, but there are good deals to be had, you just need a good memory for where you saw them. Going again this year probably on Saturday as Sundays can be busier (wives let hubbys out more on Sundays !) but I take the kids so she lets me out early. Hope you enjoy as much as I did first time.
