hendersons Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just arrived at the campsite after setting up the stall. Show looks massive. If it carries on rainIng a 4+4 will be the order of the day to get into the campsite. The ground is starting to get a little churned. May I suggest the farmers market area to meet up so we can have a decent pint and somewhere to sit. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest topshot_2k Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 dissapointing show imo. They need to change the displays/events they do as it was identical to last year. Hardly any decent deals on guns, gunmakers row seems to be very small now. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 At the GF all day - walked to far and spent to much. Mate got a good dealt on a 3 1/2" Hatsan (his choice). Back again tomorrow with the other half so guess I'll be looking at Horse and gardening stuff all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 dissapointing show imo. They need to change the displays/events they do as it was identical to last year. Hardly any decent deals on guns, gunmakers row seems to be very small now. :( When you take into account the depth of this 4th year of the recession and the astronomical costs involved in taking and manning a stand at the CLA these days. I was pleasantly surprised to see as many retailers and distributors as there where on Gunmakers row. It would also explain the glaring lack of decent price deals being offered. Even if you offered the seller hard cash in the form of crisp £50 notes. Still their loss is another retailers gain. However I found the fishing village retailers a far more ready to do a deal than any of the retailers on gunmarkers row. At least some retailers/manufacturers are still commercially aware and I did manage to find a good deal on a couple of firearm and fishing items. Just a shame I couldn't do the same with the game feed people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
