wymberley Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Me Devon so am on your side and therefore don't want to rain on your parade. However, with several national organisations running these events where and when they figure they can make a profit, it may just pay to research why none have chosen Cornwall to host one.

Ghostrider1979 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 We have Alot to offer down in devon and Cornwall and maybe if people give it a chance we could put our area on the map for great game fairs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighit1985 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 i live in Kent, but Rosiebank22 (my brother) is in Cornwall and i'd travel down if it had a good selection of things to do and see, maybe some local gunshops will sponsor it and have stalls on there to get out there and raise a little cash and maybe raise some of their profiles. Maybe a local shoot will put on clay comp. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider1979 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Falconry display always good and medieval nights/ battles etc. Plenty of people do them. Ask the usual crowd (clothing suppliers/ basc etc) Are you offering a service then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprackles Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 That time of year is expensive to travel. Peak holiday times too. I would have to combine a week or twos fishing and watersports to take it in......... I'm up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider1979 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 well things are looking good so far with regards to setting up a game fair down in cornwall. I have had various kind people on here pm me saying they can provide clay pigeon shooting, falconry, medieval battles, someone who has offered a hog roast etc. Now im free this evening im going to contact a few various gun shops around the southwest and Airgunner to see if they would like to attend the event. Thank you to all thats supporting me so far with this quest hopefully i can pull it off and make an enjoyable weekend for everyone who attends.

Which area is it going to be held,i will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Have a look at the royal Cornwall show website, I am sure it has a list of stalls and displays, no reason for you not to try and book them as well. They have everything from Newquay zoo to ferret racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett1985 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Depending on dates and times, im sure i could gather some interest down my end. Both me and my dad would be more than happy to come and help out as well. If you pm me with some more info, i'll contact some local companies and try and get some feedback. Im off to helston gunsmiths on thursday morning to get some cartridges so could possibly have a chat with them about it. Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davva Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I can't really help much as I am almost useless, but I do know a man with a burger van who may be interested in supplying some grub & I would be prepared to buy a ticket for a Devon fair and have some ££ to spend at the show!!
