cocker boy Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have just received a email from the cla gamefair campsite team asking if my caravan is over 6mtrs long due to the turning into one of the entrances?. Looks like they will move us onto another field/pitch. Has anyone else had the email?. I shouldn't imagine there are many caravans with a total length of less than 6 mtrs?.

Carman06 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Lots of exhibitors not going apparently due to cost for stall. Deben for example won't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernel gadaffi Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Saturday for me I think, luckily it's only an hour from my home this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty99 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 If you intend to shoot, do your homework on where you park.. Last time I went I was a mile away from the clay line, by the time I had got to the line with 200 cartridges and all my gear and gun, my arms were about 6 inches longer. They have loads of space for parking nearer the clay line but wont allow you access to park on it. There needs to be a shooters park for me to go again.. from Auntie. Couldn't agree more. Last year I got directed into one of the public car parks and had to walk about 2 miles to the clay line, carrying gun, gear and about 200 hundred cartridges. Got their paid my £20 and was then told I couldn't use my own cartridges. So I says, "Hang on mine are 28g, 7.5 shot, fibre wad same as you are trying to sell me". They reply "No ours have special powder so as not to annoy the neighbours". Yeah right! Needless to say I had my money back and went to the Gunmakers Pub.

johnnytheboy Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 What's the Friday like for foot fall? Is that or the Saturday the busiest day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Carrot Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well, I've had the warm up (Great Yorkshire Show) Hoping to go on the Saturday and take my lad (9) along to see the dogs working etc. Might pop along to the BASC coaching stand. Is tweed compulsory? Seemed to be at GYS (to be fair, mostly either olde types, or young lasses in tweed hot pants and hunter wellies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty99 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 What's the Friday like for foot fall? Is that or the Saturday the busiest day? Saturday will be busier cos its £5 cheaper and is designated as Ladies Day, if you can go Friday is better but it's £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've my tickets and passes for the members enclosure, but not decided which day to go yet... If Saturday is going to be busier (cheaper) I might opt for Friday, but I'll check the weather report nearer the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James1983 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Any one know any details of the 40 bird daily completion they running? Like cost / cartridge restrictions etc etc Had a look on the website and this all the details it shows... Clay shooters with a competitive nature can take part in a 40-bird competition run across eight stands which offer different types of simulated game or sporting targets and can enter the competition as many times as they like. Daily prizes will be awarded for Gold, Silver, Bronze, Ladies and Junior classes while the Platinum Overall High Gun Award runs over the three days of the show.

But see my post above about having to buy their cartridges and not being able to use your own, so be prepared for that. I think the cartridge restriction was 28g, 7.5 shot and fibre wad.

Guest topshot_2k Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Every year we hear people saying its expensive but £20-£25 for an adult for an all day event isn't that bad, under 16's are free. Its no more expensive than a trip to cinema! Im looking forward to two this year, a day shooting and another day to look around the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker boy Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 People would moan if it was £10 to get in. That's what they do. They wouldn't go anyway but like to mention they are not going. As though anyone cares?. Let the miserable ones stop at home, counting the money they have saved by not going, and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Blenheim had a noise issue, hence the reason to purchase their cartridges, I do not think there is an issue this year. Its worth spending £25 just to see Bakerboy !!!! and as a Double bonus you will get to see the Legendary Wabbitbosher !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! £25 aint that bad , Goodness me I can blow £25 in half hour or less at the Clay ground Is this a bogof offer?
