Dave at kelton Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 If anyone is interested this is a new event in two weeks time aimed at encouraging newbies to Country Sports. If you live within travelling distance and have the opportunity to bring some youngsters I hope it will be a good day. I will be tying flies with other club members and my pals grandson who started just six months ago and is proving to be very accomplished. I am hoping people will have a go at that too. https://facebook.com/events/s/pass-it-on-scotland-taster-day/554414123290005/ If you come along introduce yourself!

I have come to this late by invitation. Will be good to try and develop this across the broad spectrum of country sports. A pal of mine will be covering wildfowling and have his punt and gun there I guess with his percussion 8 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted April 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 By way of update despite poor weather we had a great attendance of youngsters today and our marquee was busy throughout. At one point I was helping them to tie flies nonstop for a couple of hours but really enjoyed it. I hope it will be repeated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feltwad Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Although I could not make it please the fair had a good day it would have most likely been better if the weather had been better country fairs are now becoming a thing of the past .

old'un Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 sounds like you all had a great day out, a proper country show and only £4 entry fee, that's what country shows should be about and not the rubbish put on at places like Weston Park. Well done for taking part Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feltwad I have been told by the organiser it will be repeated next year when they hope it will be bigger and better. If you fancied demonstrating some old guns I bet they would be glad to have you. Was very tiny and the only thing for sale was venison burgers. I am told we had 345 through the door which for such awful weather was a result!

Dave if I had been asked several years ago I could have done a display but at 85 years of age the mind is willing but the body is not. I have been doing displays in the north since 1972 at both game fairs and agricultural shows. The last one we did in that area was the Dumfries country fair it was a 2 days fair and the muzzle loading display had a good attendance there was a good attendance of punters and spectators from Ireland.
