andypaint Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I went yesterday, I enjoyed the day but only because I didn't need anything. I did notice that it was significantly smaller this year, and once again alot of the main gun stalls missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I saw quiet a few arrests too, think there were alot of hands taking without paying maybe. Had a good day out today though, only down side was the M6 and M5 due to road works and closure. Shouldn't really complain. I made it home safely.

Salop Matt Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I havent been in 4 years but went yesterday. Wished i hadnt, small and few stalls of interest also a heck of alot of travellers there. It used to be the highlight of my year but now i cant help but think it needs to be stopped as its a poor representation of what it once was.

Benthejockey Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I thought there was a lot there but it was mainly all selling the same stuff at inflated prices. Gone are the show discounts that you used to be able to get nowadays they just knock off the % the add on before the show. I was very disappointed with it really. And everything is so expensive. Me , my wife and a friends two little kids went and we spent over £100. We paid to get in and bought two thumb sticks for our nephews for £35 and the rest was a burger, a hot dog, a chicken kebab and a pint of beer. Saying that the wild fowling bloke from BASC doing his demo was very good and very funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I can't remember his name but that sounds about right. He was very amusing and the two little girls we had with us who have no interest in shooting thought him mixing up his own gun powder and shooting a duck with his 8bore was brilliant.
