steve_b_wales Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think it's been mentioned before, but who intends going to the above gamefair? It's being held, for the second time, at the County Showground in Carmarthen. Last year, as those who attended on the Saturday can testify, was a washout, with heavy rain. Hopefully this year, we'll get some dry weather. I'm going, probably on the Saturday. Perhaps a meet up of PW members can be arranged again?

A trip down south is out of the question unfortunately. Im sure you'l all have a great time down the Boars Head haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 We'll wait and see, personally (and i am really sorry to say this as i have been a staunch supporter of this fair over the years), i really thought it was a waste of time and money l;ast year, so perhaps will save up my pennies and visit the Midland instead. However i never say never and i may change my mind, subject to stalls, attractions entry price, and of course the big one, weather!

It's not what I buy there. And, I preferred it when it was held at Gelli Aur, Llandeilo, although I understand why it's not held there this year/last year. The weather does play the most important part,and hopefully, it will stay dry and warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have up with the welsh game fair quite a few years ago when I turned up, looked at the catalogue and saw not one gun stand...!! I hope so, and I'm trying to find out. I also hope that we don't have any double glazed window stands, and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Last year, I was told by someone who is on the gamefair committee, that there would be at least four 'big name' RFD's there, but the forecasted weather put them off. As much as I like Gelli Aur, the showground would be more suitable for traders, owing to the ground having a lot of hardstands. I'm trying to contact said committee member to find out about this year, but so far, have failed to speak to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well made point there Steve b, if there are better stands this year may well attend! Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well made point there Steve b, if there are better stands this year may well attend! Cheers Aled I was told by the 'committee member' that a lot of shooting related companies would not come to the Gelli Aur ground, owing to it being 'soft' and the history of people/vehicles being bogged down if there's bad weather.Also, the charge for them to trade there was expensive for what they were offered. As the County Showground is 99% hard (tarmac/concrete) he stated that the bigger RFD companies preffered this type of ground.Plus, the cost to them is cheaper than that in Gelli Aur. It was only the forecasted bad weather that stopped some of them attending last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Further to my original post, is there anyone else who intends on visiting this gamefair? I can only go on the Saturday (15th) due to work commitments, but hope that I will be able to meet up with other PW members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Too car boot ish didn't go last year went when it was at llandeilo and enjoyed it. If weather is good and there is a decent clay shoot I might be tempted but as its Father's Day I'll probably go see my old man instead.
