DSPUK Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Been today ---- It's getting same old same old every year in by 9.30 out by 2.00 More on traffic - coming down A41 from Chester just small queue at Island on A5 - most were waiting for queue to move towards entrance to Weston Park - I went straight over Island towards M54 and there was a queue at least 3/4 mile long and stopped waiting to turn at the island- so if anyone who is going can get onto A41 south or get onto M54 to junc 3 then follow signs for shooting you will have an easier run - if you are there by 9.00 ish you will probably get parked right in front of shooting and it's only 100 yrds to fair - after 9.0 you might be on next field back but going there this morning there wasn't another car on back road and I was straight in - If anyone want's to go later I would think by 12.00-1.00 you will have a straight run in whatever direction you are coming from - the main entrance when I left was clear. HDAV Bring your own or buy them onsite - not sure if it's plastic or fibre - never used to be fibre Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Went today had a nice day (Fibre only BTW) shot like a muppet but it was raining, the 2 things i really wanted to see gun wise, LH Blaser F3 and new Franchi SA werent there, GMK had no Franchi at all on the stand! missus bought more than i did! £17 seems a bit steep for what was 90% Trade stands no real obvious bargains I could see, met a nice chap in the beer tent area but dont think i will go again, perhaps try the CLA next year, http://www.welshgamefair.com/ is a better fair IMO. The have a go at clays stand was very busy all day which is a good thing. The cartridge prices were most disappointing, Clay shooting R us and Just carts were there but no cheaper than my local dealer and a much longer walk to the car...

DSPUK Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 HDVA The Midland has been going that way now for a number of years - all same (boot fair) stands with a few speciallist stands to break it up -- if you are into falconry and dogs then there is something to see- other than that it's a like a big market -- My mate bought a very nice new Hatstand (Hatsan) for just over 300 quid so he had a bargain so he said. -- I have to applaud GMK who did a repair onsite to my gun in 10 min but yet to try it so Thank you to them. :blink: If you had bought your tickets in advance at £13.60 it would have felt like a cheaper day - As you say you can more than likely get your cartridges much cheaper elsewhere - remember they have to pay for floor space and I bet it doesn't come cheap.

Troosers Too Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Why do people go to a game fair dressed from head to foot in realtree cammo? It was like walking about in a mobile shrubbery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Why do people go to a game fair dressed from head to foot in realtree cammo? It was like walking about in a mobile shrubbery. No Idea but saw a few shooting clays today in all Camo, like they would scare the clays if they wore anything normal!!! May be its a midland thing....
