steve_b_wales Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I've just read that the above is taking place (hopefully) at the East of England Arena Peterborough on April 23/24/25. Too far for me to travel (unless I can share travel costs) but may be of interest to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmicblue Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I'd be very surprised if something like that went ahead given that C19 will still be a major issue by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, they did mention that, and said that if this happens, then plans for 2022 will be put in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 They could spread it over 7 days, limit the number of visitors each day, careful policing of face covering etc, and still make allot of profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heron Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hopefully some of the smaller vendors will be able to afford to have stalls like they had at the other venues before it moved to brum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was at the showground it was far more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifleman22 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I’ve visit the shooting show at the NEC on several occasions , I found it pretty good but very crowded, the Northern Shooting Show held at the Yorkshire Show ground slightly better as although very well attended plenty of out side stands etc, (which provide social distance) also a shooting line within the show ground where try guns are available, Clay comps, practical shotgun, air gun comps, have a go stands for air rifle, .22 small bore as well as the usual dealers stands for optics, field gear, and refreshments. Provided the weather is reasonable a good day out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I think the game fair next July at Ragley Hall is where I will be heading if it goes ahead that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping that the Fenland will go ahead. Always look forward to that most years. Not quite the same now that the late John Humphreys doesn’t do the commentary, but still a good day out.
