Geeves Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have never been to the Midland before being at the "wrong" time of year for me. But this year I am going to go because of the cheap family tickets from the NGO! I have heard it is a really good show, what is the traffic like? Should I expect a mini CLA? NGO have some tickets discounted from £50 to £30! http://www.nationalgamekeepers.org.uk/news/big-discounts-on-midland-fair-ticket-prices-for-ngo-members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deputy dog Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) I can't compare it to the CLA as I've never been there, but the Midland certainly is a good day out and there is absolute loads there for all aspects of country sports/ pursuits. Went for the first time last year and going again this year and is well looking forward to it. Plenty of good deals to be had up there as I had a couple last year on some clothing stuffs. Down side to it is the price of the food up there, very dear and I would take filled rolls or something other then buying up there. And be aware of the ****** that wonder around in groups, they stick out a mile as their usually the shifty looking ones who hang around the beer stall looking for people to pick pocket or follow back to their cars with bought goods, so they can nick out Of them once they have gone. There was a few incidents last year of a few cars being broken into and stuffs stolen from them by these unsavoury characters. But otherwise to that its a decent day out with plenty to see.

team tractor Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 It's got worse every year. It used to be massive but had gradually shrunk . The food part is tiny compared to what it was and I get sick to death of mobile phone stands . I'm never going again as I have for 16 years and the ticket price is disgusting in my opinion now . In previous years I've waited in traffic for 3.5 hours to cover 5 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
