paul99 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) I haven't been for a few years now despite it being only a few miles away as when you've seen it once you don't need to go again as it's the exact same thing year after year it never changes. Definitely no clay shooting there and the last time I went the air rifle galleries weren't there either. NJ Guns used to have a stall there every year, there were / are? a few gundog demonstrations too and of course there's plenty of clothing stalls to look around but that's about it shooting wise. There's a bit more fishing wise if you're into that. I was asked for some feedback on the show one year by RWAS committee members quizzing random show goers. I filled in their survey sheet and commented that it was a shame there wasn't more made of shooting and fishing given how important it is in the area only to be told it's an agricultural show you know - well then, I asked, why is 50% of the showground taken up with stalls selling non agricultural tat - it might as well be a Sunday car boot or market? - that's want the people want apparently - the irony of their reply was lost on them . I'm pretty sure my survey sheet would have been thrown in the bin as soon as I turned my back it was feedback they just didn't want to hear. Anyway as an agricultural show I'm sure it serves the purpose but you'd be disappointed if you went there expecting to see shooting related stuff - better going to the CLA which is always on around the same time - this year the week before but usually the week after.

marshy pete Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Thanks' for the info, I would have rather gone to the CLA and often do but this year I am at welsh with work, shouldn't moan really as entrance will be paid and I may even scrounge a free lunch Unfortunately a lot of these shows are full of tat now, would make more sense to put a few shooting or country sports stalls in I think, there's a lot of farmers who'd like that more than the everpresent knife sharpener!!
