.357shooter Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 do not know about tea but a little bottle of water was £3.executive parking ie up the front if you are to lazy,rich to walk does cost extra but normal parking was free.no more tractor rides from the car park to the event though.

What did you think it was missing? Entry is included for BASC members & if you aren’t a member, the corporate sponsors usually have some tickets if you know anyone in the industry. I certainly wouldn’t pay the gate price, that changes the value proposition somewhat! As for prices food & drink being expensive, yep. I brought a packed lunch & was offered a complimentary drink by at least 2 exhibiters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.357shooter Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Have been to many shows and this time the gunmakers row was non existent.looking to buy lots of stuff and found nothing.went to my local gun shop on my way home.yes basc member but still a waste of time and too expensive.

udderlyoffroad Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Strange, I not only found gun makers' row but there were loads of guns for sale. I will concede that the signage is terrible, and they seem completely incapable of putting a clear 'you are here' on their maps. As said, I'd agree it's too expensive, but given how busy it was, either a) Only a tiny minority are actually paying the full fare, with the rest either BASC or other comp'd tickets or b) They're charging what the market will stand or C) combination of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
