I spent a fortune (including a gun) and enjoyed doing it. Didn't buy any candles or remember seeing any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomhw100 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Like a few have mentioned I've been going for the last 6 years but didn't go last year as 2010 fair was rubbish compared to all the others.a lot of the little stands had gone because they couldn't afford the pitch fee. Gunmakers row was ok but not amazing,and a lot of the bargains you used to be able to get are no more as like i said the pitch fees are a joke. It is still a good fair but we used to go for the week end (Friday to Monday) and its just a bit to much now seeing as we're from Essex. The clay shooting is a good crack and last time I fired a 4 Bore which was a laugh to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yes, we will be there this year again, 20+ years of attending now ! wanted to go both days but we have a wedding on the saturday which is the mrs boss`s wedding so it fingers crossed for the sunday !
