rabbit_stu Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 hi all, im looking at going to a decent game fair this year, and wondered which was regaurded as the best one? Not worried about travel as I'll probably take the mrs and make a weekend out of it. Thanks Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshLamb Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think the CLA is regarded as the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant hit rabbits 123 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Midland Game Fair is the best in my opinion, the CLA didn't seem as good. It will be interesting to see what the general concensus is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGD Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The CLA is the biggest, I have not been to the Midland but I have it reported as being just as good as the CLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 CLA, the Midland is very good but cannot be compared to the CLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBaz Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 As above but midland has a good feel that the cla has been missing the past couple years that said if making a weekend of I'd cla all the way, if camping hope they get it right this year, they upset a few people last time.

MASSIVE queues for the toilets and showers and only one block on a very large campsite. It was a shambles. Will I go again?

squodged Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I've done both many times.....The CLA is a spectacle that needs to be seen to believed....I had to go back for a 2nd day just see it all! The Midland is my favourite of the 2 as its just about the right size. Kelmarsh was too small, BASC Catton park just about right size but a pain to get to! I suppose it comes down to pick one and hope the sun shines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The CLA gets my vote -the sheer expanse of non shooter activities mean that there will be something for whatever family or friends you take with you to do while you look at guns.

PWD Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I like the Keepers fair at Catton Park....has a nice feel to it. Obviously nothing size wise to the CLA and MGF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
