Simon123 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just a heads up for all you members which visit the Welsh game fair annually. The show has been moved from gelli air grounds where it's been for years, and moved to the Carmarthen Showground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon123 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is it worth a visit ? Well i'll definitely be visiting, as it's only about 5 or 6 miles from home to me now, so will definitely be paying a visit. The game fair it's self is'nt to bad, (been to worse) with a few of local dealers showing there and many displays shown, i think it's worth a visit. But it is not to be compared to any of the big ones like The Midland, and The CLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is that new venue on the left hand side as you go towards TENBY ? Where i think they hold county shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Was a bit of a mud fest last year but a great location with the dogs doing the scurry in the river etc. Had a decent day out last couple of years and last year the best entertainment was sat in the beer tent watching people try and get out the car park and those that failed being dragged by tractors Edited February 16, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon123 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Hope the weather will be better than it was on last years game fair Well at least the entry was free :lol: and we got to park in the same field as the show where the judges parked Is that new venue on the left hand side as you go towards TENBY ? Where i think they hold county shows. Yes you got it mate, next door the the farmers Market. Thanks for the heads up. But i stiill dont know where the grounds are. Will i be able to find it on Google Earth. DD Yes mate. Go to google maps and type in "Carmarthen, Nantygi Show ground" and it should show the location clearly. Please note it will be Point 'C' where it will be held Edited February 17, 2012 by Simon123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Cheers Simon mate, i'll have a look see later on. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm going this year, after missing out last year due to the poor weather conditions etc. It was the first year I missed the show, in 10 years. It's a shame it's not held at the Gelli Aur ground, where it's always been held. Nearer the date, I'll try and get names/phone numbers,of PW members who are going,and perhap's we can meet up there?

deputy dog Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Found the grounds just now on Google Earth and its 48 miles as the crow flies from my area to there so not to far if i can get to go. How come they changed the Game fair venue to Carmarthen instead of its original place. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 On google earth you have to search for Nantyci show ground. It's about 20 miles from where I'll be living, so I might go for a look. http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/Game-fair-coup-showground-event-switches-Gelli/story-15233513-detail/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbird Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I think its a very very poor location for the game fair it would be far better to have it on the grounds of dinefwr castle Edited February 18, 2012 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have just spoken to a friend of mine who is on the committee with the Welsh Gamefair. He told me that there are a few reasons why this years event has been moved. One being that the Gelli Aur ground was so badly damaged last year, it will remain 'closed' for two years, so that it can recover. On a good note, he told me that there will be many more trade stands there this year, which will include some shooting/gun dealer ones, something that's been missing for years. Entry and exit to and from the Carmarthen ground will be easier, and all in all, the show should be much better than previous years. Postcode is SA33 5DR Steve.
