Stovepipe Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I was working there today. Load of rubbish that's my expert opinion. I have been going there for 6/7 years helping some friends of mine selling bison and venison burgers, we are very lucky as we always do a good trade. But I feel very sorry for a lot of the trade stands. Years ago it was a good show but steadily it has declined each year. I don't get it as there is a huge air rifle competition, why O why don't they get a traders with air rifle and products to exhibit, I mean it's an international course. It could bet great. I mean not even a decent gun trader any wear, if I wanted to buy a stick one on every corner. Then there are the cheap nasty burger bars from a large company, get local products and producers in. The problem is its dying and the the good traders won't come and wait there money. The organisers tell traders that 35/40,000 people come every year, I know of 4 stalls that did not even turn up as other traders call and told them not to bother. It's such a shame as it could be a great country fair as its one of the first in the year. But I can see more country looking out my window onto the park. Rant over Andrew This.
